They will become even tastier.

Here are 5 options to help fix the situation.
Flour, potatoes and egg
The most universal and most common solution, of course, is flour. Yes, you can add a little water to the flour, mix thoroughly and add to the pan (an average of 2 tablespoons of flour per 200 g of liquid).
If you do not want to use flour, grate raw potatoes and also add to the liquid dish. If you are making a cream sauce, you can use an egg. Beat the egg in a small bowl, separate the egg white from the yolk, in the latter add a little sauce, beat and add to the main dish.
Cornstarch
Cornstarch is a gluten-free alternative. You will need about 1 tablespoon for each cup of liquid in the recipe. Mix cornstarch with a little water and pour the mixture into a saucepan. Turn on low heat and stir constantly until the starch dissolves and the dish thickens.
Tomato paste
Tomato paste is best added at the beginning of cooking. Heating will release essential oils and caramelize sugar. If this time is lost, you can use the paste, but then the sauce must be beaten very carefully.
Reduce fluid intake
If you have time, just reduce the amount of fluid. However, be careful, because in the process of evaporation of the liquid, other flavors are also concentrated and the sauce may turn out too saturated. Therefore, if you are preparing a sauce or soup in a large saucepan, separate part of the total, place in another saucepan, allow the liquid to evaporate and only then mix the two options.
Vegetable paste
Fruit and vegetable puree is a great alternative to butter, cream and flour. Starchy foods such as (sweet) potatoes, peas, pumpkin, celery, bananas or apples are suitable for this. They can be added to curry dishes, stews and even compotes, which they will give special flavors.
