For a richer sauce, consider adding a splash of heavy cream after releasing the pressure. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to suit your spice preference. If you don't have Cabernet Sauvignon, a dry Merlot or Chianti will also work well. Serve immediately over your favorite pasta, rice, or polenta. Garnish with fresh parsley or grated Parmesan cheese.
