For a spicier dish, use hot Italian sausage or add a pinch of red pepper flakes. If you prefer a creamier sauce, stir in a dollop of ricotta cheese or heavy cream at the end. You can substitute other vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms, or kale. Ensure all pasta is submerged to cook evenly. Adjust seasoning to taste with salt and pepper.
