Passata Recipe FAQs

What is passata?

Passata is a tasty sauce made up of mostly tomatoes that are crushed, then puréed and strained to remove any tomato chunks, skin or seeds. Often olive oil and salt are added. Passata is extremely versatile and can be used in many dishes. You can buy it ready made or make your own passata very easily at home.

Is passata the same as tomato purée?

No, they are different! Tomato purée (often called tomato paste) is a highly concentrated, thick paste used in small amounts for deep flavour. Passata has a thinner, pourable consistency and is used as the main volume of a sauce. Many recipes with passata also include a teaspoon of purée to add extra richness.

Can you freeze passata?

Yes! Freezing your homemade passata is a great way to use up a tomato glut and reduce your household food waste. Passata can typically be frozen for up to three months. To use after freezing, simply thaw overnight in the fridge before using in your meals.

How long does passata last after opening?

After opening a shop bought passata carton, it can be stored safely in the refrigerator for up to seven days before being used.

How big are the HelloFresh cartons of passata?

Our tomato passata cartons are perfectly portioned at 200ml. This ensures you have exactly what you need for your HelloFresh UK recipes with zero waste.

Can I use passata instead of tinned tomatoes?

Absolutely. Passata is a great substitute if you prefer a smoother sauce without the chunky texture of tinned tomatoes. It works particularly well in quick-cook recipes where you don't have time for whole tomatoes to break down.
