If jarred passata is not available in your area, a good substitute is a combination of one-part tomato paste mixed with two parts water. (For this recipe, 1/3 cup tomato paste mixed with 2/3 cups water). You can also use a jarred sauce, but it is likely to have additional seasonings that could affect the overall flavor of your dish.
