Simple tomato sauce

It’s always useful to have in hand a simple tomato sauce for pasta or as a base to pizzas. In this version oregano gives a light perfume to the sauce and adds a sparkle to its character. If you don’t use parmesan then you have a 100% vegan dish. Try it and tell me all about it :-)

In two words:
