Notes:

From the kitchen
  • This is a perfect “clean-out-the-fridge” recipe. Add carrots, potatoes, zucchini, spinach, or green beans. Almost any vegetable will soften and flavor the sauce beautifully.
  • Sweet peppers keep the sauce mild and slightly sweet, but regular bell peppers work just as well.
 
Make it yours
  • Stir in chili flakes or black pepper for heat.
  • Finish with fresh parsley or dill.
  • Add a squeeze of lemon at the end to brighten the sauce.
  • Turn it into a soup by adding extra broth and serving with bread.
 
At the table
  • Serve over butter rice spooning the sauce generously on top.
  • Toss the sauce with pasta and top with chicken.
  • Pair with a simple cucumber or tomato salad.
  • Spoon leftovers into a bowl with crusty bread.
