Stock up on spices. Depending on the cuisine of yoir choice. I find that pepper and salt are a must have. Paprika, Oregano, Thyme, Basil and Nutmeg are my go-to's.
Maybe you could try making the pasta sauce next. It is pretty simple actually: Take your protein (like ground beef) and fry it in a pan, season with salt pepper (and paprika if you are fancy).
While it's doing that, dice some onions. Once the protein is done, take it out of the pan and add the onions. Lower the heat and gently fry them until they turn glassy. Their moisture will also loosen the residue the meat left in the pan, which is full of flavour.
While onions are cooking peel some carrots and shred them. Once the onions are done, add the carrots, and the meat back together.
Add tomate puree from a can, season with i.e: oregano, thyme, rosemary, basil. Paprika is crucial in my opinion as it gives the sauce some extra depth. Fresh parsely is also very nice. I find it elevates a very basic dish to something quite good :3
I'll add garlic to the list. We love garlic in this house and put it in everything savory. Granulated dry powder or fresh minced, whatever works for you.
Yes! Garlic. Very important :)
Sauce was on my list of things to try myself! Thank you for the advice!
