Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gluten-free fettuccine and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of pasta cooking water, and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, and sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Pour the crushed tomatoes into the skillet, stirring to combine with the garlic and onion. Add the dried oregano, dried basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
Reduce the heat to low, and allow the sauce to simmer gently for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed. Stir in the fresh basil leaves and simmer for another 2 minutes.
Add the cooked fettuccine to the sauce, tossing to coat evenly. If the sauce is too thick, add some of the reserved pasta water a little at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
Serve the pasta hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese and additional fresh basil for garnish, if desired.
