Asda Passata

Asdas Passatta is a great addition to all kinds of our regular meals, we use it in our home made lasagne, I also make pasta sauce out of it. It is basically tomato puree watered down and is a good starting ingredient for many a dish. I use this is spaghetti Bolognese with a tin of chopped tomatoes, it saves you having to squeeze the life out of a tube of puree as this goes a lot further I find The look? Like a blended and sieved red sauce, with a really fine chopped tomato within, but really smooth in texture Price? 40 pence for 500 grams means it is 5p more than a budget tin of chopped tomatoes but adds more flavour and there ...  Read the complete review

Passata is a pure, smooth sauce consisting of tomatoes which are sieved. Passata can be used for varied dishes, as the basic component of tomato soup, bolognese sauce, stir fry , pizza sauce or chicken tikka. Passata also works really well with seafood.

Passata is one of those wonderful products to keep in the back of your cupboard until you feel creative, and then make some lovely food . Passata is essentially just sieved tomato . Unlike your tinned tomatoes, you won't find any chunks in this - its a thickish smooth tomato sauce, on it's own pretty bland, but you can make all manner of things with it - it can replace tinned tomato in any dish, or with the addition of some spices, some worcestershire sauce and a generous slug of vodka, can make a very passable bloody mary . The packaging is pretty simple - a foil lines tetra pack complete with lift and snip flaps at the end to make it convenient ...  Read the complete review

Asda Passata - 500gm tetra pack, on average around 42p per pack. Passata is up there with the top ten store cupboard items for me. Whilst tinned tomatoes have their place, they are often bitter or sour. Passsata is the sweeter, more flavourful alternative. Traditional Italian sieved tomatoes are the main ingredient in the pack with a content of 99%, the other addition being citric acid.

I use passata in all manner of dishes, from the humble spag ...  Read the complete review
