Tomato paste can be used in place of going to the trouble of making passata.

Hi Chris,

I don't make passata, I buy it. It's available in bottles, jars and in cardboard cartons.

I think tomato paste, would be too acidy, better to sieve a tin of tomatoes and push as much as possible through the sieve.
