Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and diced red bell pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and smoked paprika. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to release the aroma.
Add the crushed tomatoes and stir to combine. If using white wine, pour it in at this stage and simmer for 2-3 minutes to allow the alcohol to evaporate.
Reduce the heat to low and add the pimento-stuffed green olives. Season with salt and black pepper. Simmer the sauce for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss until the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce.
Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley. Optionally, add grated Parmesan cheese or a drizzle of olive oil for extra flavor.
