In a medium to large pot, over medium heat, add cumin and toast until you
can smell the seasoning (if using seeds, until golden brown). Add 3 cups of
the tomatoe puree, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, chili and pepper flakes,
and oregano. Mix well, bring to a simmer.

Reduce to a low heat, cook covered for 25 minutes. Add the remaining
ingreadients, excluding the cheese and pasta. Mix well, cook for 10
minutes, add your cooked pasta. Or ... place 1 cup of the cooked pasta on a
plate and top each serving with the sauce. Sprinkle each plate with cheese,
