    Special thanks to Sonoma Gourmet for sending over the tasty alfredo sauce used for this recipe guide.

    Create restaurant-style pasta dishes

    Cooking with a jar of sauce is versatile yet straightforward. You can choose to make either a delicious pasta bake by cooking the pasta, mixing it with the sauce, and then putting it into an oven dish and covering with cheese.

    Alternatively, you can create a traditional pasta dish by heating the sauce and adding it to the pasta. You may like to cook some meat and vegetables to mix into the dish. Using jar sauce allows you to create a variety of meat-based or vegetarian dishes. Simply choose your protein, whether that’s meat, lentils, or chickpeas, and add these to the sauce.

    Is there any way to make store-bought alfredo jar sauce taste homemade?

    You can use the sauce straight out of the jar, but for a more homemade taste, you may like to add some extra ingredients. A pinch of spice from red pepper flakes will help to enhance the sauce and give it a kick, or some grated cheese will give added flavor. You can get creative with the sauce. Many people like to add meat and vegetables or make a pasta bake.

    Tip: If you’ve bought a tomato sauce, you can add a spoonful of cream to make a delicious creamy tomato sauce.

    Do I just pour alfredo sauce onto cooked pasta?

    Many people cook their pasta and then pour on a jar of alfredo sauce. They then mix it in and continue to cook for a few minutes. While this is the quickest and easiest way to make a simple pasta, if you’re looking for extra flavor, it’s best to simmer the sauce.

    The best way to improve premade sauce is to gently simmer it while you cook your pasta. This will help to enhance its flavor and will also reduce the sauce a bit. Once the sauce has simmered on medium or medium-low heat, and the pasta is cooked, pour the pasta into the sauce, rather than the other way around. This will allow you to coat all the pasta with the sauce effectively.

    Don’t forget to sprinkle some fresh herbs or parmesan cheese on top of your pasta before serving.
