The passata sauce is like a bright red tomato line throughout Italian cuisine. And this is not surprising, because only in Odessa one can find tastier tomatoes than in Italy 🙂 For the passata, the ripe, aromatic tomatoes are selected so that the sauce is thick and its taste is rich. The passata can be stored in the refrigerator for a long time. And I’m sure it can be useful not only for Italian dishes, but also for your usual recipes. For example, you can use it instead of tomato paste when you cook borsch.

My tips and tricks:
Depending on what you are planning to do with your passata next, you can add to it: garlic, basil, oregano, salt, pepper, sugar, or lightly fried onions.
