Passata is a great base for almost any Italian dish. A dream combination of rich, sun-ripened tomatoes, olive oil, and a sprinkle of fresh herbs. It might sound simple, but it takes a lot of experience to get it just right. Diana - the founder of Italianavera - has only managed to reach perfection tanks to a recipe handed down to her by her Nonna. A recipe that's been in the family for generations. It's ideal in any dish that calls for a bright, fresh tomato flavour.
