How can I make this recipe spicier?

Add red pepper flakes, chopped fresh chili, or a dash of hot sauce to the sauce while it simmers to increase the heat level.

Can I freeze the leftovers?

While the dish is best enjoyed fresh, you can freeze leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 month. Reheat thoroughly before serving.
