Tomato Paste
Tomato paste is a thick cooking concentrate made of blended tomatoes. To make tomato paste, you cook tomatoes, then strain and recook them. This creates a thick, concentrated paste that has body and sweetness but less acidity than puréed tomatoes. Tomato paste is used as a thickening agent in many tomato soups, stews, sauces, or ground meat dishes like meatballs, meatloaf, or tacos.
