If you can find a butcher that has marrow bones, roast them dry in the oven before throwing them into your sauce pot. They add a ton of meaty flavor! Another trick is to save the hard rind from your fresh Parmesan cheese, tossed into your freezer. When you're making a sauce, throw one or two of the rinds in there and they will release their deliciousness into the sauce. You can pull them out later or you can chew on them as a snack. As mentioned in other posts, for a standard meat sauce, it's important to brown your meat in the pan first to create the fond on the bottom. Over a medium-high heat, you can loosen the tastiness of that fond into the sauce by pouring in a small amount of acid and water, such as wine or even a splash of vinegar. Scrape the brown bits off the bottom and then add the rest of your ingredients. Good luck!
