Great for sauces
Always use this passata if I'm making a pasta or pizza sauce. Nice not to have to blitz chopped tomatoes if I'm being quick. Always add a little garlic, herbs & a splash of lemon and cook low for at least half hour, then let it cool for a pizza base. It will be a bit thicker and won't let your base go soggy!
Very disappointed with this passata, thin and runn
Very disappointed with this passata, thin and runny and totally unsuitable for using on my pizza base. I will try an alternative brand in future.
Over the moon. :)
Where has this been hiding? Oh my life, what a superb product! So smooth! I do not use tomato puree as I find it very bitter and many an older person should/cannot eat tomato seeds, so it is absolutely perfect and laden with herbs and garlic, and topped off with mozzarella, it transforms the simplest and most convenient of dishes into something really, really special. Over the moon.
So sharp I had to add sugar so wont buy again.

Watery
I use this when making curries & pastas. Unfortunately the last few times I've has this one it's been really watery. Not terrible but not the same quality it used to be. I will be using a different brand in future.
Not for me
Disgusting !! Ruined my spag Bol 😩 ended up letting the dog eat it ...so bitter needs a whole bag of sugar to balance the acidic on this, not a tea spoon . I usually use Napolina which is beautifully rich with a thick consistency but they had none so I ended up with this , never again .. kids enjoyed it though lol
Tomato juice
Very poor quality. I have never had a passata that is soo thin. Looks nothing like the picture on the carton. This is just tomato juice. Will not buy again.
Disappointingly thin passata
Disappointingly thin and watery compared to Napolina or even Lidl’s own brand. Poor value.
Watered down product. Like using tomato juice.
I usually buy this product mainly because its cheaper than the others, but have always liked it. But i wont be buying it anymore. The quality has gone down, it is so thin i could be putting tomato juice not passata on my pizzas and in my pasta. I even had to question my other half when spreading on pizza bases the other day, if he had watered it down. It is awful. I will be spending that little bit more money to be able to taste the product and be able to use it how i want to. It is so thin, i said like tomato juice. but i think even that is thicker. Tesco whats going on? not the italian way.
Buying Passata this is tomatoes as it says on the
Buying Passata this is tomatoes as it says on the product. Every day use way to use this is in a blender add stock cube. Passata, seasonings garlic, onions and herbs use dried. Tomato puree, touch tomato ketchup has sugar to sweeten, slightly. Blitz up instant Pasta sauce. If every one ever looked on the web prices of Passata triple prices expensive and are the ones Italians use. The main big world wide retail shopping website we all know about Yes lovely but is it worth it. The choice is yours from one who has decided it is not worth paying triple prices on products such as Pasta sauce or Passata
