Chef notes

I love this recipe because it is a complete meal that is quick and easy to make. It really brings people to the table with its rich flavors, and one pot makes enough to feed four people.

Swap options: You can add additional vegetables if you like. Try browning some mushrooms or a few crumbled links of Italian sausages in the oil before adding the sauce, or add a few handfuls of baby spinach to each layer.
