4. Add the wine and stir to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the wine has reduced by half.
5. Add the entire can of crushed tomatoes. Add 1 cup of water to the empty can, swirl around to gather any tomato pieces or juice left in the can and pour into the skillet. Add the oregano and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper again and stir to combine.
6. Bring to a boil the reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Keep a vented lid on the skillet to prevent too much splatter.
