Making pasta sauces from scratch is ideal but not always feasible in busy lives. Store-bought sauces like Alfredo can be bland, often relying on basic ingredients. However, by incorporating pesto, you can enhance the flavors significantly. Besides pesto, other additions like lemon zest, juice, or Calabrian chili paste can provide brightness and heat, respectively, transforming a simple jarred sauce into a gourmet experience.
By adding pesto to store-bought Alfredo sauce, you can transform a sad sauce into something much more flavorful.
Typically, jarred Alfredo sauces are made with basic ingredients like cream, parmesan cheese, cornstarch, and other stabilizers and flavorings.
By swirling pesto into jarred Alfredo sauce, youâre adding multiple layers of flavor: nutty pine nuts, savory parmesan, and fresh basil notes.
If you like things spicy, add a bit of Calabrian chili paste into the sauce as well for a fiery punch.
