passata recipe

Tomato passata recipe is one of the most useful basic recipe in Italian cuisine; you can use it to make pizza, or just add it in many pasta sauces, such as sugo all’amatriciana or spaghetti with tomato sauce or fresh egg noodles with bolognese sauce (Ragù alla Bolognese). In order to make a delicious tomato passata recipe it would be better using  “San Marzano” tomatoes. If you can’t find them, you can use other type of tomatoes, such as cherry tomatoes, pizzutello, datterino or cluster tomatoes, as long as they are ripe red. If tomatoes are not ripe enough, let them ripen in the sun a couple of afternoons.

Tomato Passata Recipe | How to Make Italian Tomato passata

Kg (4lbs 4 ounces) very ripe red tomatoes

Check the tomatoes one by one, removing rotten, stained or bruised ones. Then wash them very well under running water. Finally put them in a bowl and start cutting them in half.

With a knife, remove the seeds and all the internal part of the tomato, like to make small tomato boats. Now place the tomatoes in a rather large pot.

Let them cook over low heat, covering the pan with a lid and stirring them from time to time, until they are smashed. Now take your tomato strainer machine and, with a ladle, begin to place the cooked tomatoes in the special slot.

If the passata should still be too liquid, pour it with a small strainer, until you get the consistency you want.

DeLallo Three Cheese Baked Gnocchi Step 2

This was the perfect thing to come across in my fortnightly meal planning to change up the relentless monopoly of the same dishes for my extra needs kids. and be able simple dish for a night when my brain has left the building.
 We added chorizo as Italian sausage is not a thing in Australia.
If I had to find an issue, the only teeny tiny ity bity complaint I could have to make is when I switched it to metric it left the 12 ounces which was the only thing I didn't know. And that was solved with a quick google search.

Amanda, I have to tell you how much I enjoy your comments on pinch of yum. I actually look at recipes to see your hot takes, it has given me a lot of amusement. Do you know that there are other food bloggers out there? Maybe you need a break from Pinch Of Yum, although I personally would miss your constant snarkiness!

This was fantastic.  I loved finishing it on the oven with cheese bubbling on the top. I tweaked slighty using 2 cups of my own sauce I had on hand, and cream cheese...but it was great. Thanks for the recipe!

Entire family loved this recipe! It has been added to our regular rotation. Super easy and delicious.

This is DELICIOUS! I made the recipe exactly as written and added ground Italian chicken sausage (cooked separately). Served with a green salad and crusty bread. HEAVEN. Thank you!!

Super easy and delicious.  My toddler was making “mmmm” noises all throughout dinner.  I couldn’t find passata, so I used a can of plain tomato sauce and it turned out great.

That is some delicious looking gnocchi. I'll have to give this a go. Thank you for sharing.

What a delicious recipe! It was gone so fast!!

Came out perfect - the whole family loved it!

This was DELICIOUS!! Huge hit in my house, and I seriously wouldn’t change a single thing in this recipe. Thank you for this SOS win!!

I made this tonight for some family and everyone loved it.  Next time I think I’ll cut the mozzarella smaller or use the mozzarella pearls to ensure all scoops get some of the cheese.  I’ll also start checking it a little earlier as some of my gnocchi were almost soggy feeling.  But I’ll for sure be making it again!

So yummy!  I have been searching for Delallo products locally and can’t find them easily. I have taken to placing orders on their site because we prefer their pasta!  I impulsively ordered passata without a plan and here’s POY with a recipe. So amazing!  Paired with garlic bread, I’m already looking forward to leftovers. I really think I could drink that pissata out of the bottle ❤️  Thanks for another great easy recipe!

Made this tonight and I must say, it was amazing. Like, probably the best thing to hit the dinner table in quite a while, all with minimal effort. I used a hefty amount kale instead of spinach, and of course lots of extra garlic. This will be made again!!

Made this tonight. May have licked the skillet after dinner. It's delicious, and feels fancy without the effort you typically have to exert for fancy! I highly recommend, and this recipe also strikes me as so customizable. You could add veggies, beans, meat, use pasta instead of gnocchi, etc. Thanks, POY! Another winner :)

This was so good! I improvised a bit—used Raos sauce with some stock, arugula from the farm share, and gluten free gnocchi (Rosa brand on Amazon).  So very good!

I’ve made this multiple times and love it every time. I’ve used Passata when I had it, and tomato sauce when I didn’t and it’s delicious either way. I typically put more than a handful of spinach in - ya know, to get my greens in 😜

This was delicious!  It turns out, however, that my family is adverse to the texture  of gnocchi (what is wrong with them?!) so I'll get the leftovers all to myself - and I'm not complaining.

This recipe is a new family favorite! Because we're in the newborn baby season of life, I made this even more SOS and just used a jar of delicious Rao's sauce instead of making the tomato sauce. So so good!

This is sooooooo yummy! going to make it again for dinner with friends tomorrow. Going to add the chicken meatballs too!
