For a vegetarian option, omit the ham and add a can of drained and rinsed cannellini beans for extra protein. Feel free to experiment with different types of mushrooms, such as shiitake or oyster mushrooms. A pinch of red pepper flakes adds a pleasant touch of heat. Fresh herbs like parsley or basil, chopped and sprinkled on top, enhance the flavors beautifully.
