Help! I just realized I need 4 small cans tomato paste, but all I have is sauce. Is there anything I can do?!


Question: It depends on what you are doing, when using tomato paste all it really is, is a thickener. T. sauce is just T. paste but thinner, if your item you are cooking is to thin take corn starch and very cold water mix together no clumps but very thick and then add to what your doing if it is very hot. This will have the same effect as having T. paste.

All you need to do is go to the store and get some. they are not that expensive so they will be easy to get

Omit the water (or whatever liquid) in your recipe. Otherwise, run to the store for the tomato paste. :)

What are you making? 4 cans of tomato paste is awfully strong unless you are making enough sauce for 40 people!

u could just put the sauces in the blender and blend them until they r thick like the paste.

just substitute tomatoes for it
