What’s the best way to make a sauce from scratch

Sure! Here are four different ways to make a sauce from scratch:

**Classic Tomato Sauce**: Start by sautéing some chopped onions and garlic in olive oil until they're soft. Then, add crushed tomatoes, a pinch of sugar, salt, pepper, and some fresh basil. Let it simmer for about 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. Boom! You’ve got a delicious sauce.

**Creamy Alfredo Sauce**: Melt some butter in a pan, then add heavy cream and let it simmer for a few minutes. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese, a bit of garlic powder, salt, and pepper until it’s nice and creamy. Perfect for pasta!

**Simple Vinaigrette**: Whisk together equal parts olive oil and vinegar (like balsamic or red wine), add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to taste. You can toss in some herbs or minced garlic for extra flavor. It’s super easy and great for salads!
