How do you make jar Alfredo sauce better?

Extra seasonings and spices will go a long way in adding flavor to a boring jar of sauce. Some of my personal favorites include salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, dried basil, oregano, onion powder or seasoned salt. Start with small amounts (1/2 teaspoon at a time) and add as needed, in order to avoid over-spicing.

Do you have to cook Alfredo sauce in a jar?

You can use the sauce straight out of the jar, but for a more homemade taste, you may like to add some extra ingredients. A pinch of spice from red pepper flakes will help to enhance the sauce and give it a kick, or some grated cheese will give added flavor.

How do you make a jar of Alfredo sauce thicker?

Mix together a little cornstarch in a small bowl with some cold water (or other liquid) until the mixture is smooth to form a slurry. Slowly, whisk the slurry into the simmering sauce in a pan over medium to medium-high heat. Whisk the slurry slowly into the hot sauce until you get the desired thickness.

How do you heat Alfredo sauce in a jar?

Pour the jar of Alfredo sauce into a medium saucepan and turn the burner to medium-high heat. As soon as you see a couple of bubbles, turn it down to medium-low heat. Now start adding the ingredients you like.
