Notes

For a richer flavor, you can add a splash of red wine when you sauté the onions and garlic. Feel free to mix in your favorite vegetables like spinach or bell peppers for added nutrition. If you want a spicier kick, add some crushed red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
