Ingredient:
1 1/2 tablespoon(s) olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 carrots, peeled and finely chopped
1 stalk(s) celery, finely chopped
4 clove(s) garlic, minced
1 can(s) (28 ounces) diced tomatoes
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

2 tablespoon(s) chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 large pinch red pepper flakes
3/4 cup(s) grated Parmesan cheese

Turn heat to low; cook until very soft, 10-15 minutes. Raise heat to medium; add tomatoes. Bring to a simmer and partially cover. Cook 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper.

2.Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook spaghetti according to package directions, subtracting several minutes off cooking time so it comes out very al dente.

3.Drain well; add to sauce. Add parsley and red pepper flakes; toss to combine. Transfer to a 2-quart baking dish. Spread level. Sprinkle with cheese and bread crumbs. Drizzle with olive oil. Bake until top is browning and sauce is bubbling, about 15 minutes. Serve immediately
