My pointers
Whip in some whipping cream to make it extra rich. Craving more kick? Try chili or more ajvar. Plant-based ground works if you want to ditch the meat.

Serve it pretty
Bread, croutons, or garlicky toast take it up a notch. Top with crème fraîche, parmesan, or extra herbs to fancy it up.
Stays nice
Freeze for up to three months if you want. Defrost in the fridge overnight, then reheat and toss on your favorite toppings.
Switch things up
Go lighter with plant-based cream. Try zucchini or spinach for more veggies. Smoked cheese adds that smoky flavor twist.
What makes it special
Ready in a flash, super filling, and you can tweak it. Use up what you’ve got—good for everyone. It’s a real all-rounder.
Cooking smart
Use those leftover veggies and shelf-stable stuff. Easy way to cut down on waste and get a feel-good bowl.

Kids go wild for it
It’s creamy, gentle, and super fun to look at. Toss in tiny pasta shapes or little mozzarella balls for even more fun.
Party hero
Croutons, fresh herbs, or a splash of balsamic make cool garnishes. Put it in cute bowls and wow your guests.
Global vibes
Jalapeños? You’ll get those Mexican flavors. Basil gives you more of an Italian feel. Or toss in some Middle Eastern spices for a whole new spin.
