Cook the pasta. Bring 4 liters of water and 1 tbsp of salt to a rolling boil in a large pot. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package directions until al dente, typically 8-10 minutes. Just before draining, reserve 1 cup of the starchy pasta water. Drain the spaghetti and set aside.
Sauté the aromatics. While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5-6 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, and cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to let the garlic burn.
Build and simmer the sauce. Pour the white wine into the skillet to deglaze, scraping up any flavorful bits from the bottom of the pan. Allow it to simmer and reduce by half, about 2-3 minutes. Add the crushed tomatoes, the reserved juice from the clams, dried oregano, 1 tsp salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine, bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it cook for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Combine pasta and clams. Uncover the sauce and stir in the drained chopped clams. Cook for only 1-2 minutes, just until the clams are heated through. Overcooking will make them tough. Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet with the sauce. Toss thoroughly to coat every strand of pasta.
Finish and serve. If the sauce seems too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to achieve a silky consistency that clings to the noodles. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately, garnished generously with fresh chopped parsley.
