Classic Tomato Sauce

Creamy Alfredo Sauce

Method

Classic Tomato Sauce

  1. 1

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Then add the minced garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Add Tomatoes and Seasoning

    Pour in the canned crushed tomatoes and stir to combine. Add the dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  3. 3

    Simmer the Sauce

    Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will help the flavors meld together.

  4. 4

    Finish with Fresh Basil

    Once the sauce has thickened slightly, stir in the fresh basil. Adjust seasoning if needed and remove from heat.

Creamy Alfredo Sauce

  1. 5

    Melt the Butter

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter completely, taking care not to brown it.

  2. 6

    Add Heavy Cream and Garlic

    Once the butter is melted, add the heavy cream and minced garlic. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.

  3. 7

    Incorporate the Cheese

    Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted and the sauce is creamy. Continue to stir until smooth.

  4. 8

    Season the Sauce

    Add salt and black pepper to taste, then remove from heat. Stir in the fresh parsley before serving.
