Basil Red Sauce & Garlic Alfredo White Sauce
Ingredients
Basil Red Sauce
- One 6 ounce can tomato paste
- 1-1/2 cups cups tomato sauce or tomato puree
- 2 teaspoons dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (or 1 tablespoon minced garlic)
- 1/2 teaspoon teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Garlic Alfredo White Sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1-1/2 teaspoons teaspoons minced garlic
- 1/8 teaspoon 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon teaspoon pepper
- 1-1/3 cups cream (I have used half & half in a pinch for a substitute)
Instructions
Basil Red Sauce
- Heat all ingredients in small saucepan on medium-high until it just starts to simmer. Let the sauce sit at room temperature as it cool.
- The sauce is already very thick, so no need to simmer to thicken, however, for better flavor I make it a day or two in advance.
- This is enough for two large pizzas plus some extra for dipping! Makes 2 cups sauce. Store extra in refrigerator.
Garlic Alfredo White Sauce
- Over medium heat, melt butter in a saucepan, add the cornstarch and garlic to make roux, making sure to whisk out any lumps.
- Whisk in cream, salt & pepper.
- Heat while stirring until slightly thickened about 5 to minutes. Makes about 1-1/2 cups sauce.
