  3. Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  4. Stir in the diced tomatoes (undrained), parsley, oregano, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  6. Serve immediately over pasta or with crusty bread for dipping. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
