After reading your one pot recipe , must give it a try. With a bit of hope they can continue to supply. Most good brands seem to only last a short while up here before home brands replace them. Looking forward to making your one pot Spaghetti. Hi Nagi, im from the US and new to your blog. Just wanted to say I am so excited to try your recipes. I have been looking online and found that passata is known as Strained Tomatoes here in the US.

Pomi is one brand that sells them and is found in grocery stores. I am trying your recipe for a few adaptations. I only had tomato paste so I used that. I also added sun dried tomatoes and kalamata olives. It smells delicious! Looking forward to dinner! Thanks for sharing! I have learned much in the two decades I have been cooking and rarely use whole peeled tomatoes in my cooking.

In a pinch I will use the product in lieu of crushed or diced tomatoes. Additional Notes: When choosing a tomato product for you meal consider the net result of what you are seeking to achieve in regards to flavor, texture, aroma. The final product whether a quick salsa, a simple pasta sauce, a long simmered pasta sauce, stew, soup or or other meal requiring tomatoes can be greatly impacted by the original product used.

Read the ingredients to see if the product has been seasoned with salt, sweeteners, herbs and spices. I usually drain this liquid prior to cooking and will save it in the freezer to add to a sauce that I am going to simmer for a long time.

Personal Bias: In the end the final decision is yours on which tomato products to use in your cooking. Personal preference and comfort level go a long way in making a decision. For me, there are certain products and specific processors that I use exclusively. Whether my thought process is sound or not, but I am biased towards processors based in Italy. They are a little more expensive and not always better, but I have been more pleased with their products then not.

The only other common tinned varieties are chopped, whole and whole skinned. Please help me! I have made it several times, unfortunately not paying much attention to the tomatoes brands or types I used each time-whatever I had available.

At times it came out delicious, others, not so much-not even when I used fresh luscious Roma tomatoes I peeled myself. We are glad you have chosen to leave a comment.
