As every home cook knows, Tomato paste is one of those ingredients you usually need in small amounts. You open a can for a tablespoon or two, then the rest ends up lingering in the fridge until it goes to waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few days later, you find it pushed behind the yogurt, looking darker, drier, and very much not like something you want to stir into dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s why freezing tomato paste has become one of my favorite kitchen habits! It saves money, cuts down on waste, and (when you freeze it in cute shapes) adds a teensy bit of whimsy to everyday cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started freezing tomato paste in a silicone heart-shaped ice cube tray, and each little heart holds about 1 tablespoon. Now, when I need some for soup, pasta sauce, chili, or stew, I can grab one from the freezer and drop it straight into the pot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It IS practical, yes. But it is also a little whimsical. And honestly, I love that. Y’all know I love to add some whimsy to anything I can. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
