Pasta Sauces

If you're tired of making the same old pasta sauces, perhaps it's time to get creative. Fortunately, pasta dishes are usually uncomplicated enough that experimenting with different flavors, spice combinations, and ingredients is relatively simple. Here are a few different pasta recipes that you can put a new twist on.

When it comes to pasta sauces, you can choose between milk based and tomato based sauces. Both have their unique flavors, and both are relatively simple to make. However, some chefs insist that cooking sauces such as marinara for hours upon hours is the only way to make it taste genuine. Some chefs even spend all day on their sauces, only to put them in the fridge overnight and reheat them before the meal. This brings out their flavors significantly. However, if you're pressed for time, there's nothing saying that you can't make your pasta sauces quickly.

Alfredo is one of the more famous cream based sauces. It's made by combining cream, butter, garlic, cracked pepper, and Parmesan cheese. Delicate and creamy, it complements a variety of meats and vegetables. For example, sweeter meats such as lobster, crab, clams, squid, mussels, and pork are all wonderful in cream sauces, mainly because its plainer flavor brings out the flavors in the meat beautifully. Bitter vegetables such as spinach or broccoli also go great in cream based sauces.

However, there are many who think Alfredo pasta sauces are much too plain. If this sounds like you, you can create a dramatic new flavor by adding curry, cayenne, paprika, or other spices to your Alfredo. The heat of the spices combined with the natural creaminess of the sauce creates an unforgettable taste sensation.

Tomato based spices are somewhat different. The basic pasta sauce recipe includes tomato paste, diced tomatoes, sautéed onions, and garlic. Bolognese is a variation on this that includes milk, pork, carrots, and celery. However, there are plenty of other ingredients you can add to make this acidic pasta sauce really unique. For example, many chefs prefer adding wine or vodka to their sauce for a creative change. If you're a garlic lover, mushroom lover, or meat lover, don't be squeamish about making your pasta sauce thick with your favorite ingredients.

These are only a few ways you can put a new twist on pasta sauces. It goes without saying, however, that you should taste your sauces before trying them out on guests. Learn more today about how to make your sauces unique and delicious. Restaurant quality pasta isn't difficult; your own limit is your own imagination.
