    turn some into a sauce with red wine, mushrooms, salt, pepper, stock, garlic, and onions. Use that as a base for sauteing chicken pieces. Sprinkle some fresh thyme in near the end.

      you must be thinking of tomato sauce..
      paste has no water.... its already thick.

          I never do the reducing to tomatoes to make sauce of them. I usually add flour to thicken and tomato paste to get it back into colour. of course, if you use too much flour, the taste is gone. so be careful. works wonders for consistency though.

            Tomato paste is literally paste, a thick, sticky substance the consistancy of stiff mashed potatoes, roughly. I wouldn't use it by itself for anything, but it helps thicken tomato sauces quite well. As tomatoes are berries, tomato paste is frequently rather sweet, like sun-dried tomatoes.

              ive used paste before to make sauce.
              have to add quite a bit of stock or water.
              and lots of fresh herbs..
              like che said its sort of sweet.
              add a good beef stock from a long cooked roast and id probably add some good canned tomatos crushed .

              but reading back i wonder if its really paste you have or if its just a large can of sauce... ?

                Our family recipe for marinara involves one large can of tomato sauce, 4oz of tomato paste, salt, herbs, spices, and grated romano. These days, though, jarred sauce is such high quality stuff, that' its just easier to buy it. In the old days, Ragu was the only stuff you could get.

                  Pasta sauce is a good idea, though we already have a jar of that in the fridge. However I did found the solution - 10 more pizzas.

                      Make it pasta sauce, pour in freezer bags... freeze. Defrost for the next spaghetti.

                            Get a couple of bushels of tomatoes and start pasting them.

                              I use tomato paste in chili now and then, and it is just as good as tomato sauce, just add a cup of water to a 5oz. can of paste. Also good for minestrone.

                              Generally, we just use it for pizza. Wifey makes the sauce and then fills ice cube trays with it, freezes them, then places them a plastic bag. One "ice cube" of pizza sauce is good for one small pizza. Works for us.
