Made this today my family reckon it's the best pasta sauce they've ever had. :P Not acidic like a lot of tomato sauces. Goes really well with ricotta gnocchi.  :D

I must try and get some cooking tomatoes to make a batch of this.

Oh my oh my! This is just amazing! Thank you Megan! This is bound to be a regular with the 500g tomatoes we are picking at the moment!

I roasted the tomatoes in a clean airfryer for 15 minutes and transferred the juice from the bottom of the airfryer into the tmx too. Couldn't be bothered skinning the tomatoes :D :o but it didn't seem to matter :)

Great idea to roast them first!

We love this. I try to make enough  to last the year. Not anywhere near enough. But it is a great pasta, lasagne and canaloni sauce.

This is our favourite recipe for passata!  We roast the tomatoes first too, which adds an extra richness of flavour. 

Normally we freeze loads and loads of this sauce, but this year I am going to try putting it in jars and bottles and putting them through the Fowlers Vacola preserving thing.  That way we can store it on the shelf rather than using up all that freezer space.

Karen, when I freeze passata I pour it into a good sized ziplock bag and press it flat. That way it takes up very little space and thaws quickly as well.

We love this! I think I've made 20kg of passata this season alone!
I too freeze in zip lock bags and lay them flat in the freezer. I weigh 400g into each bag (and usually a smaller bag of 200g). Then if a recipe calls for canned tomatoes I can easily use a prefrozen amount.

Great recipe to make when someone gives you a bag of ripe tomatoes, mine is in the freezer in zip lock bags.

Thanks for the reminder, Judy - this post is perfectly timed - I have tomatoes coming out of my ears at the moment and was wondering what to do with them ... I was thinking tomato soup, but passata is a much better idea.
