For a deeper flavor, brown the ground beef in a little olive oil before adding the vegetables.
Consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
A bay leaf added during simmering can enhance the sauce's complexity; remember to remove it before serving.
If you prefer a smoother sauce, use an immersion blender to partially blend it after simmering.
