For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the sauce while it's simmering. If you don't have cream cheese, mascarpone or ricotta cheese can be used as a substitute. Fresh basil or parsley, chopped, makes a lovely garnish. This dish pairs perfectly with a simple side salad and some crusty bread for dipping.
