Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a medium sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook over medium heat until translucent.
- Add tomatoes, wine, red pepper flakes and oregano and bring to a simmer. Add Asiago cheese and stir until melted and incorporated. Season to taste with salt and pepper and let simmer for 30-45 min.
- While the sauce simmers, cook the pasta according to the package directions until al dente. Drain.

Notes
- Always, always search out canned San Marzano tomatoes for all of your pasta dishes. This will give you the most authentic flavor!
