For a richer flavor, use oven-dried tomatoes instead of fresh tomatoes. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat. If you don't have fresh basil, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried basil. Serve with crusty bread to soak up the delicious juices. For a vegan option, substitute the mozzarella and Parmesan with a plant-based alternative.
