For a vegetarian option, substitute the pork sausage with plant-based crumbles or add more vegetables like mushrooms or zucchini. If you like a spicier sauce, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce. For a richer flavor, use a combination of pork sausage and Italian sausage. Fresh herbs, such as basil or oregano, can be added to the sauce during the last few minutes of simmering for a more vibrant flavor. The sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
