For a richer flavor, use smoked kielbasa sausage. Feel free to add other vegetables such as bell peppers, zucchini, or spinach. If you don't have balsamic vinegar, you can use a tablespoon of red wine vinegar or a squeeze of lemon juice. For a spicier dish, add more crushed red pepper flakes. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
