1. preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.

Add the oregano, tomatoes and tomato purée. Cover the pan and cook for 10 - 15 minutes so that the flavours have a chance to blend. Then season to taste.

8. Repeat these layers ending with a layer of cream sauce.

9. Cover with grated cheese and bake for 35 - 40 minutes when the cheese should be bubbling and golden.
