[–] moldy_rice@piefed.keyboardvagabond.com 2 points 2 days ago (2 children) Huh, I usually don't add tomato paste until the very end. Else it burns on the bottom of the pan permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] RBWells@lemmy.world 1 point 1 day ago Burned tomato paste is delicious though. Burn it. When using jarred sauce I usually first brown some tomato paste in olive oil, maybe with an anchovy or two. Then a half bottle of wine and let it reduce. Then the jarred sauce and let it all simmer together while the pasta cooks. permalink fedilink source parent [–] zeppo@lemmy.world 1 point 1 day ago (1 child) Why would it burn on the bottom of the pan? You sauté with the other stuff, then it gets throughly mixed in. The way I learned was it needs to be sautéed a bit. I guess adding it later would work about as well, idk. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago You're right, it does need to be sauteed to get rid of the raw tomato flavor. The paste should go in just before the aromatics are done cooking, along with any spices or dried herbs being used. Saute for another couple minutes until the paste has darkened a bit and the raw smell/flavor has subsided, then add the tomatoes (or passata or stock or whatever). permalink fedilink source parent
