1. Cook the pasta al dente in a pot. Take a look at the packaging; the cooking time varies depending on the pasta and the manufacturer.
2. Add the garlic and a drizzle of olive oil to the pan over medium heat while the pasta cooks.
3. Add the red pepper and onion, chopped into chunks, and stir until the garlic turns golden brown.
4. Stir in the optional oregano and salt. Simmer for ten minutes or so.
5. Once that time has passed, reduce the heat to the lowest setting and add the pasta along with a small amount of cooking water.
6. To ensure that everything is combined, stir for a minute.
