Instructions
Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Simmer the sauce for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet with the tomato sauce. Toss to coat the spaghetti evenly in the sauce.
