5-minute sauce for pasta or gnocchi

1/2 cup fresh tomatoes - chopped
2T oak smoked tomatoes (chopped)
1 red chili, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
1T lemon zest
1 small red onion, diced
olive oil
freshly ground black pepper
Maldon
4T cream (optional)
big pinch raw sugar
Parmesan to taste (suggest 2T)

While the pasta or gnocchi is cooking, gently cook garlic, chili and onions in a saucepan with some olive oil. Once the onion softens, add tomatoes and reduce slightly. Season (including the sugar) and stir in the cream and Parmesan. Add a scattering of the strands of lemon zest. Drain the pasta or gnocchi and add to the sauce.
