For larger amounts (of what I had in the picture), here we use cans/jars of tomatoes (pelati) or of passata. We have them as small as 250 gr. Of course they need to be cooked more than the paste that is much easier to prepare.
So, with the peas that I cooked to night, I would have had to put the tomatoes in a pot or in a pan, cook them until dissolved, add the sweet peas and brought everything to the right consistency. With the paste I did everything in the MW in a much shorter time, without having to check or to stir.
