Chef's Notes
Do not let the simplicity of this concoction fool you. By rehydrating tomato paste and balancing its natural acidity with just the right touch of sugar, you create a depth of flavor that rivals canned tomatoes in a fraction of the time.
Pro Tip
Want to elevate this substitute to legendary status? Toast your tomato paste in a dry pan for sixty seconds before whisking in the water to unlock deep, caramelized umami notes.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Dropping unblended flour straight into hot water, resulting in gummy, gelatinous clumps that turn your glorious sauce into a lumpy wallpaper paste disaster.

The Culinary Science
Tomato paste is intensely concentrated because the water and skins have been removed and reduced, resulting in a powerhouse of glutamates which provide that intensely savory punch we crave.
