For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes during the cooking process. Toasted nuts, such as slivered almonds or toasted pine nuts, make a delightful garnish. Feel free to experiment with different colored bell peppers for a visually appealing dish. For a richer flavor, use homemade vegetable broth. Alternatively, consider using chicken broth if you're not vegetarian.
