Best Answer
There is no set amount or rule to guide you, as there is a lot of variation in tomato sauce for spaghetti. Some people use oregano, some use marjoram, some use thyme, some use basil...some use a combination. Oftentimes fresh herbs are used, rather than dried herbs. A tablespoon of dried oregano sounds like a lot to me, unless you really like that flavor. I would start with much less, see how you like the flavor, then add more until it is of your liking. It is much more difficult to remove or alter the flavor if you start with too much. I would suggest you begin with a quarter teaspoon and work your way up.

An average ratio of tomato sauce to pasta is 1 1/2 cups of sauce to 1 pound of pasta. For oil-based sauces, use 1 cup per 1 pound of pasta. Go even lighter with creamy, rich sauces.

Tossing in strips of basil, a sprig of thyme or some oregano can take your sauce to the next level. Although fresh herbs might pop a bit more, dried herbs and spices can work just as well.
