For a spicier kick, use hot Italian sausage or add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce. Fresh broccoli can be substituted with frozen broccoli florets, just add them directly to the sauce and cook until tender. To enhance the flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of tomato paste to the sauce while sautéing the onions and garlic. A sprinkle of fresh parsley or a dollop of ricotta cheese would make great additions to the finished dish.
