Pasatta seems to be tomato puree with the seeds and skins removed.
How do you use this? Can it be substituted for canned tomatoes in most recipes? Any caveats?
I just found out that canned tomatoes absorb BPA (Bisphenol A) from the linings of the cans. They do this more than most other foods because they are acidic. BPA is estrogenic and I'm not supposed to eat estrogenic foods. A local grocery store has pasatta in glass jars on special. Yes, I might get some BPA from the lid, but it won't be anywhere near as much as from a can.
This is going to be a real PITA. Even most organic canned tomatoes are in cans lined with a BPA containing coating.
