Add tomatoes and stir to combine. Continue to cook over medium heat to let the tomatoes start to break down.
- Step 2When the mixture reaches a simmer, reduce heat slightly and and stir in butter. Season again with salt and pepper, add oregano, and let simmer about 15 minutes more to allow the flavors to develop. Taste and season as necessary.
