5. Once the oil is heated, place the crushed red pepper flakes, minced garlic and sliced shallot into the pan.

6. Cook for about 2 minutes or until the mixture becomes fragrant and the shallots start to become slightly translucent.

7. Next add the sliced cherry tomatoes to the garlic mixture and cook for an additional 5 minutes or until they just start to soften, stir occasionally.

8. When the tomatoes are just starting to cook, but are still slightly firm, add the white wine, lemon juice, 1 ½ tsp lemon zest, salt and pepper.

9. Cook the sauce for 10 minutes stirring when needed. Add the chopped basil and oregano to the sauce, stir to combine.
