Passata
Crushed tomato blends that are used often as ingredients for Italian cooking. Passata is made from straining crushed ripe tomatoes with either a fine or coarse strainer to create a smooth or somewhat chunky blend, depending on the strainer texture. As an ingredient, passata is used to flavor soups, sauces and pasta dishes. Sugocase and Polpa are other varieties of Italian tomato products that are similar, but coarser in texture than Passata.

Passata is a cooked tomato concentrate. In the case of the recipe you refer to, which calls for a small amount, you might prefer to substitute tomato paste rather than going to the trouble of making a batch of passata.

It is sieved tomatoes. It tastes like tinned plum tomatos and comes in a screw top jar. You generally find it near tinned tomatoes and tomato puree on a supermarket shelf. Sometimes it comes 'with herbs' or 'with garlic'. I as to to mince to make spag bol.
