Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Pour in the crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth. Stir in the dried oregano, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Add the dried pasta to the pot, ensuring it is mostly submerged in the liquid. Stir well to prevent the pasta from sticking together.

Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and simmer for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente. Stir occasionally (every 3-4 minutes) to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. If the sauce becomes too thick, you can add a splash more broth or water.

Remove the pot from the heat and let it stand, covered, for 2 minutes. The pasta will absorb any remaining liquid and the sauce will thicken slightly.

Stir the pasta gently. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped basil and grated Parmesan cheese, as desired. Serve immediately.
