What it is

How people cook with it
These tomatoes are a versatile ingredient for many savory dishes. They can be used in sauces, soups, stews, and more.
- Sauce base
- Soup starter
- Casserole addition
- Simmered with meats
You can add these tomatoes directly to your cooking. For sauces, simmer them with onions, garlic, and other vegetables. They work well in chili or a hearty stew, adding moisture and flavor. When making pasta dishes, they can form the foundation of a quick marinara. They are also good in baked dishes like lasagna or baked ziti. The added herbs mean you may need less seasoning overall. Just drain if you prefer a thicker consistency.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike plain diced tomatoes, these are already seasoned with Italian herbs like oregano and basil. This saves you the step of adding those spices yourself. The flavor is more robust than unseasoned varieties, offering a ready-made Italian taste.
