In a large pot with a lid, add the tomatoes and juices and use your hands to break up the tomatoes into chunks/release the juices (beware of splatter!)
Add the water, pasta, butter, oregano, salt, and garlic (if using). Stir everything to combine, then cover with a lid and increase the heat to high to bring to a boil. Give the pasta a stir, scraping up any pasta that’s stuck to the bottom of the pot. Return to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer rapidly (covered) for 10 minutes, stirring halfway to scrape up any pasta that might be stuck on the bottom.
Remove the lid, give it another stir, and let it simmer for 5-10 more minutes, uncovered, stirring occasionally to ensure no sticking. You’ll know it’s done when the liquid has reduced into a saucier consistency and the pasta is cooked to your liking.
Remove from heat and stir in the parmesan. Taste and add more salt, if needed. Note that the sauce will thicken up and cling better to the pasta as it sits and cools a bit (recommend letting it sit for 5-10 minutes).
Serve topped with more parmesan and some black pepper. Serve with a simple side salad, if you’d like.
