Recipe Notes

Additional Tips

  • For a creamy texture and added protein, stir in a couple of tablespoons of ricotta or Greek yogurt just before serving; this will balance the tanginess of the tomatoes and enhance the richness of the dish.
  • To elevate the herbal notes, briefly fry a sprig of fresh rosemary or thyme in the oil before sautéing the garlic—then remove it and proceed with the recipe. This will infuse the base with subtle, aromatic depth.
  • If you enjoy a bit more heat, toss in some thinly sliced fresh chili or a pinch of red pepper flakes when sautéing the garlic to intensify the spicy undertones.
  • For a vegan twist, use a drizzle of lemon-tahini sauce or a sprinkle of nutritional yeast when serving; this adds creaminess and a savory, cheesy flavor without dairy.
