- Place the tomato mixture in a blender and puree in batches until the sauce is a smooth consistency. Return to the pan.
- Reheat the sauce, add 2 tablespoons of fresh oregano and enough heavy cream to make the sauce a creamy consistency. Add salt and pepper, to taste, and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Combine with optional protein (see above), if preferred
- Serve atop either rinsed and sautéed Miracle Noodles, sautéed zucchini noodles, roasted cauliflower, or cooked spaghetti squash.
- Serve with a generous sprinkle of Parmesan and a sprinkle of fresh oregano on each plate.
