For a vegetarian version, omit the sausage and add a can of cannellini beans or lentils for added protein. If you don't have red wine, you can substitute with chicken or vegetable broth. Feel free to add other vegetables such as bell peppers, zucchini, or carrots to the sauce. For a spicier sauce, increase the amount of cayenne pepper or add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
