I always have marinara sauce on hand so I tend to use it in a lot of dishes. You can easily leave the marinara sauce out of this recipe, or change it up and use a white sauce. I would recommend butter and white wine for the base and add those ingredients into the recipe at the same step you would have used the marinara sauce.

I always have marinara sauce on hand so I tend to use it in a lot of dishes. You can easily leave the marinara sauce out of this recipe, or change it up and use a lemon butter sauce.

I would recommend butter and lemon juice for the base and add those ingredients into the recipe at the same step you would have used the marinara sauce.

I picked broccoli as the vegetable in this dish. However, pick what you like. I would recommend asparagus, green beans, zucchini, eggplant, spinach, Swiss chard, escarole, or broccoli rabe as alternatives.
