For a richer flavor, use a combination of ground beef and ground pork. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle kick. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of broth or water to thin it out. This sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage. Consider adding other vegetables such as mushrooms, bell peppers, or zucchini to the sauce.
