2. Transfer tomato mixture to a blender container or food processor bowl. Cover and blend or process until smooth. Toss with desired cooked pasta. Use within 1 day, or freeze up to 1 month.
To Freeze:3. Spoon finished food into ice cube trays. Cover with waxed paper and freeze until firm. When ice cubes are frozen, remove cubes from tray and store in a resealable plastic freezer bag or freezer container. Label package with contents and date. Use within 1 month. Before serving, let thaw in the refrigerator overnight.
To Serve:4. Heat thawed mixture to lukewarm in a small dish set in a pan of hot water. Stir before serving. Always sample a small bite to make sure the food is not too hot.
