Directions
- Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Sauté the aromatics: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook for 2–3 minutes until translucent. Add garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Make the sauce: Stir in crushed tomatoes and tomato paste. Add oregano, basil, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Simmer on low heat for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.
- Combine pasta and sauce: Add the cooked spaghetti to the sauce and toss gently to coat all strands evenly.
- Serve: Divide the spaghetti among plates. Sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan and garnish with fresh basil leaves. Serve hot.
