What is Tomato Paste?

Tomato paste is made by cooking tomatoes for hours to reduce water content, then straining and cooking them again until a thick, concentrated paste is formed. It's commonly used in Italian sauces, stews, and casseroles.While tomato paste is rich and flavorful, it is less versatile and often needs refrigeration after opening, leading to waste if not used promptly.
