Sauté onion in hot olive oil until tender and golden, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
Stir in the tomatoes with their juices, broth, wine, tomato puree, ½ tablespoon dry oregano, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika and the red pepper flakes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 15 - 20 minutes, uncovered, until the sauce is lightly thickened and the flavors have blended.
