Note
For a richer flavor, you can substitute regular tomato soup for the condensed version, or use a mix of tomato sauce and a splash of milk.
Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms or spinach for extra nutrition.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of water if the sauce thickens too much.
If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
