For a richer flavor, use roasted tomatoes instead of fresh or canned. Add a splash of dry white wine to the sauce for added depth. Feel free to substitute other types of pasta, such as spaghetti or fettuccine. Garnish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a touch of sweetness and acidity. If you don't have fresh basil, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried basil, but fresh is highly recommended for the best flavor. For a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the hot pepper sauce.
