Do be sure to bring sauces thickened with cornstarch or arrow root to a boil - that's when they thicken.
Other ways to thicken sauces -
Use butter - cold butter - a tablespoon on the heat, stirring until it is almost melted, then another tablespoon off the heat, again until it is almost melted; repeat until thickened; adjust your seasonings - not the most healthy of sauces, but very flavorful.
Reduction - really intensifies flavors
Tomato paste
Puree the heck out of it - if you have veggies and whatnot in the sauce, just puree the heck out of it then strain - very healthy and good tasting.
