A great sauce is what makes a bowl of pasta unforgettable, and these homemade pasta sauces cover every mood and season. For an easy, hands-off classic, try my Roasted Tomato Sauce with roasted garlic and butter, or a silky Cherry Tomato Butter Sauce made with just a handful of ingredients. In summer, blend up a Big Batch Basil Pesto or a Sicilian-inspired Pesto Rosso with sun-dried tomatoes and almonds. When there’s time for a slow simmer, make Pasta alla Genovese, the traditional beef and onion ragù from Naples, or The Best Short Rib Ragu. And for the easiest sauce of all, a Brown Butter Sauce with Sage and Walnuts is perfect with agnolotti, gnocchi or ravioli.
