• using fresh and dry oregano

Ingredients

• fresh oregano
• olive oil
• 2 anchovy fillets
• minced garlic
• red chili flakes
• dry oregano
• San Marzano tomatoes
• salt
• sugar
• black pepper
• baking soda

What it concludes

• Dry herbs and fresh herbs do not have the exact same flavor, so using both provides a better depth of flavor.
• Crushing whole peeled tomatoes by hand gives you a purée without requiring a blender.
• The olive oil is part of the sauce and should not be skimmed off the top.
• A tiny pinch of baking soda neutralizes some of the acid in the tomatoes to mellow out the sauce and potentially prevent heartburn.
