  4. Add the tomatoes and reduce heat back to medium
  5. Add your salt, pepper and oregano, stir and let the mixture cook for another 5 minutes
  6. Reduce heat and let the sauce simmer
  7. Put a pot of salted water on to boil for the pasta
  8. Cook the pasta as directed on the packaging, drain and mix in the tomato sauce with the fresh basil leaves (tear them if too big)
  9. Serve in bowls and sprinkle the grated cheese over the bowl

Enjoy!
