For an even richer flavor, consider using roasted bell peppers. Fresh herbs, such as basil or parsley, can be added to the cheese mixture for extra freshness. If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can use an immersion blender to partially blend the vegetable sauce. Feel free to add other vegetables such as zucchini, spinach, or mushrooms to the sauce.
