Reduce heat and simmer 20 to 25 minutes, stirring often until mixture is stiff. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat tomato sauce, oregano, corn, hot pepper flakes and pepper. When cornmeal is stiff, turn half into a serving dish and top with half the sauce. Layer remaining cornmeal and sauce and let rest to 5 to 10 minutes. Cut in squares and serve.
