Add vegetables. You can skip all the vegetables you like with onion. Try diced peppers, celery, carrots, mushrooms, you call it.

Revive it. More crushed red chilli chilli flakes please!

Strengthen this version by adding fresh minced mushrooms in addition to ground meat. Chopped mushrooms have all the umami that the meat does and are a great way to get more for your money when working with ground meat. When finely ground, most skeptics will not even be mixed in this pasta sauce. (What is UMAMI? That 5th taste that makes things fleshy great!)
Add anchovies. Ok, don’t get to the idea until you try it. You may not like the anchovies on your pizza, but you won’t even notice them in the sauce. It is only pop all the flavors. No fish. The anchovies only add more umami flavor.
