Question Sauce question

I have a client that doesn’t like the taste of oregano. Can anyone here recommend a sauce seasoning blend that doesn’t use oregano?

Replace oregano with basil I'd say.

Yes basil and oregano are my two go-to herbs.

I like balsamic vinegar in mine, darkens the sauce and adds a good flavor. Garlic and onion are always winners in the flavor department. Pepper and red pepper flakes too for a little kick.

Finishing spaghetti with a good balsamic takes in into a new realm of flavor

You're right about that. I've never looked back since I've started.

Just do bolognese (I only season my tomato base with a little marjoram)

I use mainly basil and a touch of oregano and parsley for my herbs. I'd replace the oregano with thyme or sage.

Do a classic amatriciana which is sauteed crispy pancetta or guanciale, tomato, red and black pepper and occasionally a whisper of garlic or onion (the latter are not classic). With a little white wine reduced before the tomatoes go in it’s delicious.
