Pro Tips

🍅 Extra flavor? Add 1 tbsp tomato paste to the sauce.
🧀 Rich twist: Stir in ¼ cup mascarpone for silkiness.
🌿 Herb swap: Try thyme or oregano instead of basil.

Pair with: Garlic bread and a crisp white wine! 🥖🍷

(Leftovers? Reheat gently with a splash of milk—the sauce thickens when chilled.)
