For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce while it simmers. Fresh basil is a wonderful addition! If using fresh basil, chiffonade a few leaves and sprinkle over the dish just before serving. To prevent the broccoli from overcooking, ensure the heat is kept low during the simmering process. The broccoli should retain some of its bite.
