Honestly? So disappointed. I used fresh cherry tomatoes ( instead of tinned) as we had a glut of them. The taste was ok, but the seeds, oh dear, the seeds, I could not bear. I tried sieving but this would have taken forever and wasn't really successful. My other half thought it was very tasty and didn't mind the seeds, so its gone in the freezer to use for pasta etc.

Fantastic recipe! Modified with added eggplant, tiny bit of cinnamon, chilli flakes, fennel seeds, cilantro seeds and soy sauce. Keeper!

Really good sauce and very easy to make. I used half of it to make the gnocchi with roasted red pepper sauce recipe on this site. I'm going to use the other half as a pasta sauce.

Unbelievably easy to make and absolutely delicious.... My two teenage sons raved over it, definitely one that will be made again and again.

very nice sauce! the texture is like a coarse, rustic style passata and it works well with both gnocchi and pasta. lovely taste and I suspect it will work equally well in a pizza. very easy to make as well! will definitely be making again!

This is very very yummy and I enjoyed the fact that when you whizz it all up it's like a very posh and tasty passata.

What’s a substitute for red wine vinegar? (Non alcoholic) Or can we take it out completely?

Hi Ayesha, You can use lemon juice instead. You could also leave it out but it does add a sweet-sour flavour. Lulu
