Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and onion; sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the cooked spaghetti to the sauce and toss until well coated.
Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil if desired.

You can add cooked ground beef or sausage for a meatier version.
Use whole wheat spaghetti for a healthier alternative.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
