- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 400g (14 oz) canned diced tomatoes or fresh chopped tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Step-by-Step Method
Step 1: Cook the Noodles
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- Add a generous pinch of salt to the water.
- Cook the noodles according to package instructions until al dente (tender but firm to the bite).
- Drain the noodles and set aside. Save a small cup of pasta water for later.
Step 2: Prepare the Sauce
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30–60 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3–4 minutes.
- Pour in the canned or fresh tomatoes. Stir well.
- Add oregano, basil, chili flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper.
- Simmer the sauce gently for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Step 3: Combine Noodles and Sauce
- Add the cooked noodles into the skillet with the sauce.
- Toss gently to coat the noodles evenly with the sauce.
- If the noodles seem dry, add a splash of reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce.
