Add San Marzano crushed tomatoes, salt, and Italian seasoning to the skillet. Cover and simmer on low heat.
Add pasta to boiling water and cook to al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water. Set aside.
Drain the pasta in a colander. Set aside. Stir 1/4 cup pasta water into the sauce to thicken it.
