NEAPOLITAN PIZZA SAUCE

By BobD

Ingredients

• Let as much liquid as possible drain from the tomatoes by cutting out the cores and allowing the juices and seeds inside to escape, and then squeezing them gently with your hands.
• If the tomatoes are too wet, the crust won't cook properly. Whether you choose a food mill of food processor to grind the tomatoes, make sure they stay a little chunky. If you like a pronounced flavor of oregano, by all means add more.
• 1 14-ounce can Italian plum tomatoes, drained
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed hot red pepper, or more to taste
