Stanley Tucci has the only way to make sauce on his cooking videos. He specifically addresses the Oregano problem. Look them up on YouTube. Best ever. The guy knows kitchen and bar. He also advises against spaghetti in favor of shells, rigatoni, etc....Spaghetti doesn’t deliver the wonderful volume of sauce in each bite. The other pastas do. They hold a volume of the sauce.

There’s also the fact that you are supposed to use some of the pasta water in the sauce, cook the pasta just a minute under the pkg directions for al dente then finish 2 minutes directly in the sauce which allows the sauce to cling to the pasta without it being a certain shape.
