Warm oil in a medium saucepan over low heat and sauté garlic; heat through until garlic turns translucent, not brown. Add onion and cook over low heat until translucent; 5 to 10 minutes.

Add parsley, basil, and black pepper; stir. Add tomatoes and cover; raise heat to medium and bring to a strong simmer. Lower heat and add red pepper flakes. Cover the saucepan and cook for 25 to 35 minutes.

Continue to let the sauce cook over medium-low heat uncovered for 10 minutes or until it thickens. The sauce can be run in the food processor for 2 to 3 seconds to achieve a more uniform consistency.

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain and serve with sauce.
