For a richer flavor, consider sautéing the vegetables in a skillet with the margarine before microwaving. This will add depth to the dish.
Feel free to adjust the amount of hot pepper sauce and cayenne pepper to your liking. For a milder dish, omit them altogether.
If you don't have fresh parsley, you can substitute 1 tablespoon of dried parsley.
Serve with a side of crusty bread for soaking up the delicious sauce.
