If you’re in American or Canada, the best substitute for tomato passata is tomato puree. Tomato puree is very similar or identical in the way it’s made, and recipes I’ve made using tomato puree came out the same as when made using tomato passata. Do you need to cook Passata? Passata is a type of tomato purée made from fresh, in-season tomatoes that’s often used as a base for pasta sauces, soups, stews, and other dishes. Is passata sauce the same as pasta sauce? Using tomato paste as a substitute for crushed tomatoes requires some adjustments. Since tomato paste is highly concentrated, dilute it with water or broth (1:1 ratio) to achieve a similar consistency. Tomato paste is ideal for pizza sauces, meat dishes, and adding depth to soups. Stewed TomatoesTomato sauce can be a convenient substitute for crushed tomatoes. Since it’s already cooked and seasoned, it’s ready to use in your recipes. Bear in mind that tomato sauce is thinner in consistency, so consider reducing it or combining it with a small amount of tomato paste to achieve the desired texture. It works nicely in pasta dishes, pizzas, and chili recipes.

We don't throw away as many tomatoes in the UK as we once did – it is down from 2m tomatoes thrown away every day in 2007, to a mere 1.5m in 2012. But that is 45,000 tonnes of tomatoes wasted at home every year. Apparently we throw them away because we think they have gone off; we just don't use them up in time. 32,000 tonnes of tomatoes are thrown away every year because they are considered too ripe. If you like a little heat, sprinkle on a little dried red pepper flakes before tossing in the olive oil and balsamic vinegar.Add 2 Tbsp of lemon juice to each quart jar and then add the hot tomatoes into jars leaving a ½ inch to the top of the jar.
