toast some bread, spread tomato paste on it, add some cheese (that meltseasily)... stick in the microwave for 20-30 seconds and voila: toast pizza

aren't they like a few bucks? Saving it won't taste that good.

I keep an empty ice tray for things like this...cube of pastas, cubes of stock, cubes of herbs are all very convenient!

Make a pizza bagel! Use it instead of tomato sauce. Less messy AND more antioxidants.

You can make a quick sauce using paste (mix in some water, herbs, salt). It taste just like Boyardee, but my kids love it because the sauce is super smooth.

I just mix it in with an open jar of sauce..but the tubes sound useful. Are they in the same are in the store? I just discovered frozen garlic cubes..also great.

Does anyone know if the tubes of tomato paste are BPA free? I will buy the cans if I can't find the jar at a fancier store, but I don't like using too many cans.

They sell it in a tube?! I have got to remember that next time I need it.

Yeah, I have the paste in a tube - love it. I used the canned paste because my recipe needed 1/4 cup and I thought it would be more cost effective from a can. Especially so now that I am freezing the remainder!

Also a great reason to pick up a tube of tomato paste the next time you're at the store. I've switched to the tubes for exactly this reason. It stays fresh in the fridge for quite a while.

Great, thank you!

I scoop out tablespoons of tomato paste onto a wax paper sheet. After freezing, I store them in a Ziplock bag in the freezer. It is easy to take out the right amount for future use.

Take it out of the can, tho. Never store food in an opened can.

You can freeze it. I put it in a small zip lock.

So before I put it in the fridge and forget about it, anyone have a suggestion on how I can use it up? I have about 3/4 of a full small can. Thanks!
