Add the pasta to salted boiling water and cook according to package instructions.
While the pasta is cooking, make the breadcrumb topping by melting the butter in a small sauté pan over low heat. Add the breadcrumbs, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until the breadcrumbs are toasted and lightly browned, about 3 minutes.
Drain the pasta and return to the warm pan. Stir in the tomato sauce, oregano, pepperoni, and mozzarella.
Divide the pasta between bowls and garnish with the breadcrumb topping and basil.
