'Pizzaiola' is any sauce in which oregano plays a major part - 'pizzaiola' because the sauce tastes like pizza topping. Here we have added meat to the basic tomato sauce.

- 2 cloves garlic, sliced
- 1 small tin (15oz) tomatoes
- 1 tsp dried oregano or 2 tsp fresh, chopped
- sprig of fresh Italian parsley
- 3 TBSP good olive oil
- 1 pound pasta
METHOD:
- SET 6 quarts of water in a large pot to boil for the pasta.
- BROWN the meat in 1 T of the olive. When cooked, set the meat to one side and pour off the grease from the skillet.
- ADD remaining 2 T olive oil and sauté the garlic in the until golden.
- ADD the tomatoes (peeled and seeded if you are using fresh) and cook until reduced.
- ADD 2 T of kosher salt to the pasta water, return it to the boil, and cook the pasta 8 - 12 minutes.
- ADD the the oregano and parsley to the sauce, salt and pepper to taste. Add the meat, cook for another 5 minutes on low heat.
