- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika

Notes
For a lighter version, consider using turkey sausage instead of pork sausage.
If not using heavy cream, coconut milk provides a good dairy-free alternative.
You can add more garlic if desired for a stronger flavor.
