For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce. If you don't have fresh tomatoes, you can use high-quality canned tomatoes, but be sure to drain them well. Feel free to add other fresh vegetables to the sauce, such as cucumber or bell peppers. This dish is best served immediately after tossing the spaghetti with the sauce. However, you can prepare the sauce in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
