I make fresh tomato sauce often. The quality and sweetness of the tomatoes is really important. Often they are not ripe enough. You recipe is very similar to mine except I don't add oregano when I'm using basil. I will try it however and see what kind of a difference it makes.

Catherine, their is nothing better than dressing pasta with fresh tomato sauce. I have to go easy on the hot pepper as my mother doesn't care for it and my Nonnas also didn't add oregano. I will try it too! Lovely!
