Gently smash the tomatoes while they are simmering. Add the onion and garlic to the tomatoes and continue to simmer.

Place the sliced mushrooms on the griddle and let them become golden and then add them to the tomatoes. Place the basil on the griddle and drizzle with a little olive oil and let grill for a second or two and then add to the tomatoes. Add a few dashes of red pepper flakes to the tomatoes and the quarter cup of wine. Simmer on low for about 5 minutes and then set aside.

Prepare the spaghetti and toss with the tomatoes topping this with some more red pepper flakes, olive oil and grated Romano cheese.

The basil would add much more flavor if you chopped it. Chopping it will release the oils and the flavor. The sweet onion cuts the acidity of the tomatoes. That is very good. Red pepper flakes and hot Italian cherry peppers seems very hot to me. I would use only the cherry peppers.
