Classic Tomato Sauce

Method

Classic Tomato Sauce

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

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

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

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

5

Melt the Butter

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

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.

7

Incorporate the Cheese

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

8

Season the Sauce

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