For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end. Be careful when adding Cognac to the hot pan, as it can ignite. Have a lid ready to smother any flames if necessary. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your preference for heat. Serve immediately over your choice of pasta, rice, or with crusty bread.
