Frequently Asked Questions About Pasta with tomato paste and Kashar cheese
What is pasta with tomato paste and Kashar cheese?
Pasta with tomato paste and Kashar cheese is a simple Turkish-style pasta dish made by tossing cooked pasta with a briefly fried tomato-paste sauce and grated Kashar. The cheese is usually stirred in while the pasta is hot so it softens and melts.
How do you make pasta with tomato paste and Kashar cheese?
Cook the pasta, then briefly fry tomato paste in a little oil and loosen it with pasta water. Toss the drained pasta in the sauce, take it off the heat, and stir in grated Kashar cheese. This keeps the cheese from getting overly oily.
Can you use another cheese in pasta with tomato paste and Kashar cheese?
Yes, mozzarella can replace Kashar in this pasta, though the flavor will be milder and the texture stretchier. A mild cheddar-style cheese also works, but it will taste different from Kashar, a Turkish semi-hard cheese.
Can you use tomato sauce instead of tomato paste in pasta with tomato paste and Kashar cheese?
Yes, but tomato sauce contains more liquid and is usually less concentrated than paste. Simmer it until it thickens before adding the pasta, or the finished dish may be watery and the tomato flavor less intense.
Why does the Kashar cheese turn stringy or clumpy in this pasta?
Kashar can clump if it is added over high heat or if the pasta and sauce are too dry. Grate it finely, take the pan off the heat, and stir it into hot pasta with a splash of pasta water.
What can you serve with pasta with tomato paste and Kashar cheese?
A crisp green salad or plain yogurt makes a good side for pasta with tomato paste and Kashar cheese. Both bring freshness to the rich, savory sauce; roasted vegetables also work if you want a more substantial meal.
How long does pasta with tomato paste and Kashar cheese keep in the fridge?
Store leftover pasta with tomato paste and Kashar cheese in a covered container in the refrigerator for 3–4 days. Refrigerate it promptly rather than leaving it at room temperature, and reheat only the portion you plan to eat.
Can you freeze pasta with tomato paste and Kashar cheese?
Yes, you can freeze it in an airtight container, but the Kashar may become grainy and the pasta softer after thawing. For the best texture, freeze the tomato-sauce pasta before adding the cheese, then stir in freshly grated Kashar when reheating.
Can you make pasta with tomato paste and Kashar cheese in one pot?
Yes, but add the pasta water gradually so the dish does not become soupy. Cook the pasta, reserve some of its water, then mix the tomato paste into the pot with a little water and finish with Kashar off the heat.
How can you prepare pasta with tomato paste and Kashar cheese ahead of time?
You can make the tomato-paste sauce ahead and refrigerate it separately, then cook the pasta and add Kashar just before serving. Keeping the cheese out until the end helps preserve its smooth, freshly melted texture.

What is Pasta with tomato paste and Kashar cheese?
Pasta with tomato paste and Kashar cheese is a simple Turkish home-style dish: cooked pasta is tossed with a sauce made from tomato paste and usually a little oil, then topped with grated Kashar. The cheese softens into the hot pasta, bringing a savoury, mildly tangy richness that balances the concentrated tomato flavour.
In Turkey, it is often served as an easy lunch or supper, either on its own or with yoghurt, ayran or pickles. For readers elsewhere, it makes a straightforward one-pan-style meal from familiar pantry staples. Pasta provides most of its carbohydrate, while the cheese adds protein and fat; it has about 25 g of carbohydrate per 100 g. Use oil and cheese sparingly for a lighter serving, and add a fresh salad alongside.
