Passata
-
Smooth & Sieved: Made from strained tomatoes, resulting in a smooth, velvety texture.
-
No Seeds or Skin: The tomatoes are puréed and filtered to remove seeds and skin.
-
Common Uses: Ideal for sauces, soups, and dishes where a smooth consistency is desired (e.g., marinara, pizza sauce).
Passata Rustica ("Rustic" Passata)
-
Coarse & Chunky: Less finely sieved, so it retains small bits of tomato flesh, seeds, and sometimes skin.
-
More Textured: Has a thicker, slightly grainy consistency compared to regular passata.
-
Common Uses: Great for rustic dishes like stews, ragù, or recipes where a heartier tomato presence is preferred.
Which One to Use?
-
Choose Passata for smooth sauces.
-
Choose Passata Rustica for a more homemade, textured feel.
Both are uncooked (just crushed tomatoes) and usually contain nothing but tomatoes and sometimes salt, making them a fresher alternative to canned tomato sauce.
