For a vegetarian option, omit the sausage and add 1 diced bell pepper and 1/2 cup of sliced mushrooms to the sauce. To add a touch of sweetness, stir in 1 teaspoon of sugar or honey to the sauce while it's simmering. For a richer flavor, use homemade tomato sauce or add a tablespoon of tomato paste to the sauce. Fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, or parsley, can be used in place of dried herbs for a more vibrant flavor. Use about 1 tablespoon of fresh herbs for every teaspoon of dried herbs. Serve with a side of garlic bread or a simple green salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
