Variations & Tips

For a spicier sauce, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a splash of hot sauce. You can also incorporate additional vegetables, such as bell peppers or mushrooms, for more texture and flavor. If you prefer a creamier sauce, stir in a splash of heavy cream or a dollop of ricotta cheese just before serving. For a vegetarian version, substitute the ground beef with a plant-based meat alternative or simply omit it and add more vegetables.
