Notes

If tomatoes are out of season, using canned tomatoes is possible. Adding also your favorite vegetable can be an option.
You may want some green or red bell pepper on it, or you can top it with basil or cilantro to make it more aromatic and give it a spicier taste.
You can also add Parmesan cheese to enhance the taste and texture.
