For an even richer flavor, consider adding a splash of dry red wine to the sauce during the simmering process. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes according to your spice preference. This sauce freezes beautifully! Store in airtight containers or freezer bags for up to 3 months. Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini or carrots. If you don't have fresh basil, 1 tablespoon of dried basil can be substituted.
