Can you put tomato paste thyme sauce straight on pasta?

Yes, tomato paste thyme sauce can be spread on pizza dough as a base. Thin it slightly if it is very thick, and use a light layer so the dough does not get soggy or the sauce overwhelm the toppings.
What can you substitute for tomato paste thyme sauce?
A practical substitute is tomato sauce seasoned with thyme. For a closer, thicker consistency, simmer it until reduced; add the thyme gradually, since dried herbs can become pronounced as the sauce cooks.
How can you make tomato paste thyme sauce less salty?
To make tomato paste thyme sauce less salty, dilute it with water or unsalted tomato sauce and avoid adding extra salt. If using it in a dish, balance the amount with unsalted ingredients rather than trying to mask the salt with more seasoning.

What is Tomato paste thyme sauce?
Tomato paste thyme sauce combines concentrated tomato paste with thyme for a savoury, herb-forward condiment. It is not tied to one fixed recipe: in Turkish-style home cooking, it may be mixed with a little oil and other seasonings, then adjusted to suit the dish.
Use it as a spread on bread or in a sandwich, serve it alongside eggs, or stir a little into pasta, roasted vegetables or grilled foods. The tomato brings a deep, tangy flavour, while thyme adds a fragrant, earthy note. It provides some fibre from the tomatoes and is fairly energy-conscious at 82 kcal per 100 g. For a lighter version, go easy on the oil and thin the sauce with a splash of water or lemon juice.
