Passata—pureed tomatoes in their own juice—is a lifesaver if you've harvested a large tomato crop or frequently cook with them, especially in Italian cuisine, and don't want to deprive them of this aromatic ingredient, grown in the hot summer sun, even in the colder months. Passata is typically made with tomatoes alone, but sometimes more flavor is added with garlic, bay leaves, or basil. It can be used to make sauces, soups, gravies, added to pizza, or any hot dish that calls for tomatoes. Preserve the taste of summer in a jar of passata.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Place the tomatoes, garlic, and olive oil in a saucepan. Place over medium heat, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally to ensure all the tomato halves are fully cooked.
Generously season the passata with salt and pepper and add 1 teaspoon of sugar. Cook, uncovered, for another 5 minutes, until the garlic is soft. Then cool the mixture and strain it through a sieve.

Passata can be poured into individual freezer bags and stored in the freezer for up to 3 months, or jarred and refrigerated for up to 1 week. Alternatively, use it directly in sauces and soups.
