Variations & Tips
If you’re looking for a lighter version, you can use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef. For a vegetarian option, simply omit the meat altogether and add a variety of vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms. Gluten-free pasta works well for those with gluten sensitivities—just keep an eye on the cooking time, as it might cook faster. For an extra kick, you can also add some red pepper flakes or use a spicy marinara sauce.
