Pasta with tomato puree is a simple dish of cooked pasta coated in a smooth sauce made from puréed tomatoes. It is an easy home-cooked meal rather than a single fixed regional recipe, and may be seasoned with garlic, onion or herbs.
The pasta stays tender while the tomato brings a mild sweetness and tang. Serve it warm for lunch or dinner, on its own or with a green salad; cheese, beans or lentils can make it more filling. It is mainly a carbohydrate-based dish, with 24.6 g of carbohydrates per 100 g and relatively little fat. For a lighter plate, use just a little oil and add vegetables such as spinach, courgette or peppers.
