Anyone willing to share their pasta sauce recipes?
I have a confession, my dad makes his own spaghetti sauce and I HATE it. Please don't tell him! hehehe Its a meat sauce which I'm not a fan of. And I don't know what it is but I'm never excited for it.
Do any of you ladies have a great recipe you are willing to share? I know some folks are touchy about sharing their family recipes
TIA

This recipe is always well-received. Its the spices that give it the nice flavour though, so if you have meat lovers, include the sausage, they would love that. For veggie lovers, put in lots of mushrooms, peppers, tomatoes, etc.
I use AllRecipes.com regularly because the reviews are usually helpful and have good modifications sometimes and you aren't likely to get a recipe which actually sucks, like you can on blogs, etc.
You've heard what I've done, not what I've been through.
If you were in my shoes, you'd fall the first step."
I cheat when making red sauce but when I make alfredo I make that from scratch not healthy in any way but I can give you that recipe if you want?
Ohhhh I'd love to try a new alfredo recipe. My MIL gave me hers and its good but not great. Please share
sure!
1/2 Cup Salted Butter
1 Small Carton of Heavy Whipping Cream
2 Tablespoons of Minced Garlic
11/2 Cups Grated Fresh Parmesan Cheese (or replace half a cup of the cheese with romano) I buy the already shredded cheese that is in the plastic tubs in the refrigerator section
Melt butter over low heat until all the way melted, add heavy whipping cream, then add garlic increase heat to medium medium high, stirring with a whisk is the easiest. As it starts just starts to bubble, add cheese slowly, stirring often until cheese is melted and the alfredo is a good thickness turn on low heat or turn off put saranwrap over the top so it doesn't thicken on the top. while you finish everything else. I like to make hubby grill chicken while I am doing this & cooking the pasta.
Its simple and honestly I get tired of all the stirring so it doesn't get lumpy but its worth it and you can double with no problem.
MMmm that sounds great! I tried an alfredo sauce recipe I found here on the nest and it wasn't that good.
