Wanting to add a sprinkling of oregano.

As soon as it starts to simmer, cover the pan, lower the heat and continue cooking for about ten minutes, just enough to cook the tomatoes.

  • If desired, at the end of cooking, add a generous sprinkling of parsley.
  • It goes without saying that a dish like this finds its ideal companion in polenta; that is freshly made or, in slices, grilled. But it is also excellent with rice in white or, why not, couscous!
  • The sauce that should go forward is an excellent seasoning for a dish of spaghetti with the taste of the sea.
  • Although not indicated in the ingredients, a pinch of sugar added to the tomatoes, as always, will lower the acidity.
