For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of dry white wine to the skillet along with the tomato sauce. If you prefer a milder dish, reduce or omit the red pepper flakes. Fresh parsley, chopped and sprinkled over the finished dish, adds a vibrant touch. Adjust the amount of salt to your taste after the dish is finished.
