Introduction
Want to elevate your everyday meals without fancy ingredients? These homemade sauces — Alfredo, Tomato, and Sweet ‘n Sour — are pantry-friendly, full of flavor, and incredibly easy to make. Whether you’re tossing pasta, dressing a pizza, or dipping crispy bites, these classic sauces will have everyone asking for seconds.
I first learned to make Alfredo on a whim during a rainy night in college. It became a staple — especially when I needed comfort food fast. The tomato sauce is a family tradition, handed down with love, and the sweet ‘n sour? That one’s a game day favorite that never makes it past halftime.
Let’s dive in and make each one from scratch.
