For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground beef with plant-based ground meat or sautéed vegetables like mushrooms, bell peppers, and zucchini. Feel free to add other cheeses, such as parmesan or ricotta, for added flavor and texture. For a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the meat sauce. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
