For best flavor, use homemade tomato sauce if available. If using store-bought, choose a high-quality brand with minimal additives.

You can substitute spicy Italian sausage with mild Italian sausage or chicken sausage for a different flavor profile.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of water to refresh the sauce.
