Tomato paste is a highly concentrated paste made by cooking down tomatoes and removing their seeds and juices until only a thick, intensely flavored product remains. It is used as a flavor enhancer and base for sauces. Tomato sauce, on the other hand, is a standalone sauce or condiment made from fresh or canned tomatoes cooked with olive oil, onions, and basil, and may include other vegetables and aromatics. Tomato sauce is thinner in consistency compared to tomato paste and can be used directly as a sauce for pasta or as an ingredient in various dishes.
