In reply to Pooja. I'm so glad you're loving the recipes! I'm sure it would be fine to skip the tomato paste in this recipe. It might change the flavor slightly, but it shouldn't be too much. Let me know if you end up trying it and how it turns out for you.

Hi
I haven’t made the recipe yet,but I love all of your recipes I’ve made so far. I want to make this for my kids, but my one kid doesn’t like anything tomato based. Is it ok if I skip the tomato paste or will it change the taste too much?
Thanks for all the yummy ( and healthy) recipes!

In reply to Karin. Interesting! Normally chickpea pasta soaks up more liquid than regular pasta, so I would think it would be less liquidy. Either way, I'm glad you enjoyed this recipe. Thanks for making it!

Love this recipe! I use the chickpea pasta and nondairy milk and it is delicious every time. Though, I have had to add more pasta to soak up some of the liquid – so thinking on my third round will add more meat to balance.

In reply to Melly. Great question, Melly. Tomato paste is thicker and more concentrated than tomato sauce, which helps add richness without thinning the dish. You can use tomato sauce if needed, but you might want to reduce the broth slightly to maintain the right consistency. Let me know how it turns out if you try it!

Is there a difference in using tomato paste vs tomato sauce?

In reply to Kimberly Frye. Hi Kimberly - Apologies, there is no tomato sauce in the recipe. I forgot to delete that when editing the post. I just updated the recipe. Thanks for noticing that!

You mentioned tomato sauce in Steph number three, but there is no tomato sauce in the ingredient list. Is it left out or was it not meant to be in the steps? Thank you.

Hey Brit
How much sauce? Seems to be missing.
