4. Freeze.

A great idea to preserve freshness and taste, in addition, it is very convenient to use in the future for cooking various sauces and soups.

No need to save or throw away the remains of sauces and tomato paste into the bin.

It is much more economical to freeze and leave to chance. Then it can be added to soup, porridge or stew. For example, you can make immediately with a supply of pesto sauce and stretch the pleasure for several weeks, without being distracted each time by a new mixing of the ingredients.
