Variations & Tips
If you want to add some veggies to this dish, consider tossing in some chopped bell peppers or spinach during the last hour of cooking. For a creamier sauce, you can add a splash of heavy cream or a handful of shredded cheese before serving. If you’re looking to cut down on carbs, try using zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice instead of traditional pasta. And for those who like it extra spicy, a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce can kick up the heat.
