    Notes

    Here are a few extra tips:
    Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
    If you like a spicier kick, add a pinch of chili flakes. 🌶️
    Make ahead tip: Prepare the tomato topping the night before and keep it in the fridge.
    Adding a little more garlic can give it more bite, if you like that. 🍴
