Don't Waste the Paste
If a recipe calls for a small amount of tomato paste, there is no reason to waste an entire can. Use a measuring spoon and make 1 tablespoon scoops of leftover paste. Place the scoops on a baking sheet lined with wax paper, and flash freeze. Transfer the tomato paste to a freezer bag.
