Note

Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. It can also be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

For a creamier texture, stir in a splash of plant-based cream or coconut milk at the end. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra heat.

If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of vegetable broth or water. If too thin, simmer uncovered for a few more minutes to reduce.
