For a vegetarian option, replace the ground beef with lentils or crumbled plant-based meat. Feel free to experiment with different types of mushrooms, such as cremini or shiitake. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a touch of heat to the sauce. For a richer flavor, use a high-quality dry red wine like Chianti or Cabernet Sauvignon. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but reduce the amount by half.
