Cover, reduce the heat and simmer another 15 to 20 minutes (or longer), stirring occasionally until the mixture is thick and fragrant. Taste and adjust seasonings.

• Drain the pasta, put it in a heated bowl and toss it with the sauce. Serve grated Parmesan cheese separately.

Steps:

• Put a large pot of water (with ½ tablespoon of salt added), on the stove to boil for the spaghetti. Heat olive oil on medium high heat in a large heavy skillet (one big enough to fit sauce and 1 pound of cooked spaghetti). Saute diced onion until translucent but not browned, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and dried red pepper flakes and stir for a minute. Add 2 cups of tomatoes and stir for a minute. Cover skillet with a lid and simmer over moderate heat for about 5 minutes, remove lid and see if the tomatoes are soft enough to mash. If not cover again for a few minutes. When tomatoes are soft mash them. (I use a potato masher and try not to splatter.) Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes or more. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. When spaghetti is cooked al dente (according to the brand's directions), take out ½ cup pasta water and then drain spaghetti but leave it wet and quickly add it back to the skillet (now on low heat). Add ½ cup Parmesan cheese and 1/3 to ½ cup pasta water, toss it all up. Add more salt and pepper if desired to taste. Serve with extra parmesan on the table.
