Eggplant and Cinnamon Pasta Sauce

I first made this Cinnamon Eggplant Pasta Sauce back in 2016.  It is a lovely departure from pasta with a more Italian style tomato sauce.  I adapted it from a couple of recipes I found online.  It comes together quickly and makes a hearty dinner for those weeknights when you don't feel like spending a lot of time in the kitchen but want something that will stick to your bones.  It also freezes well.

I served it over linguine here but it also goes well with orzo, and any other pasta for that matter.
