tomato paste
Concentrated red sauce
Tomato paste is a thick, concentrated form of tomatoes, cooked down and strained to remove seeds and skins.
It adds deep, rich tomato flavor to sauces, soups, and stews.
A little goes a long way—recipes typically call for a tablespoon or two: Stir in a tablespoon of tomato paste and let it cook until it darkens slightly.
