La Molisana Smooth and Velvety Tomato Puree is an Italian kitchen staple with a fine texture and gentle tomato flavour.
- Pasta alla Norma: simmer the puree with garlic, then toss with pasta, fried aubergine and grated ricotta salata.
- Uova in purgatorio: warm the puree with olive oil, add the eggs and cook until the whites are set.
- Thicker sauce: cook uncovered over a low heat, stirring regularly, until the liquid reduces to the required consistency.
For extra depth, begin with a classic soffritto of onion, carrot and celery, then add the puree and continue with your chosen recipe.
-
Is tomato purée the same as passata?
Not quite. In British cooking, tomato purée usually means a concentrated tomato paste, while passata is made from sieved tomatoes and has a smoother, more pourable consistency. La Molisana Smooth and Velvety Tomato Puree is bottled and can be used like passata as a base for Italian sauces.
-
Can tomato purée replace chopped tomatoes in a recipe?
Yes. It is a useful alternative when you want a smooth sauce without visible tomato pieces. La Molisana Tomato Puree blends evenly into lasagne, pasta sauces, meat dishes and baked recipes.
-
Can leftover tomato purée be frozen?
Yes. Freeze it soon after opening in small, freezer-safe portions. This makes it easy to defrost only the amount needed for future pasta sauces, risottos, pizza toppings or soups.
-
Is tomato purée suitable for slow-cooker recipes?
Yes. Its smooth consistency combines evenly with meat, vegetables and seasonings during slow cooking. It works particularly well in ragù, Italian-style stews and sauces that need a uniform tomato base.
