Add the red pepper flakes to the saucepan and stir to infuse the oil with spiciness.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, dried oregano, and dried basil. Let the sauce simmer for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.
Season the Arrabiata Sauce with salt and pepper to taste, and continue simmering for an additional 5-7 minutes until the sauce reaches the desired consistency.
