But you can use pasta sauces in so many different recipes! Rich and creamy Alfredo sauce is perfect spooned over fish or used as the sauce for an open-faced sandwich. A Cheddar cheese pasta sauce is perfect mixed with ham or leftover meatloaf for a hearty meal. Whenever a recipe calls for making a bechamel sauce, white sauce, or cheese sauce, turn to one of these convenience foods instead to save a lot of time and effort.
