Notes

*Use Caution When Using Oregano Essential Oil*
Keep in mind that when stirring your sauce that you use a metal spoon or teflon spoon. Wood will soak the oregano oil into it and the wooden spoon may pass it to another future recipe (which may not be tasty in that dish.) This is provided that you do not wash your wooden spoons in the dishwasher.
If you find that it is "hot" put more olive oil in it to balance the heat.
