    I like a Roma type with few seeds and dry flesh so it doesn't cost a fortune to cook them down into a sauce. A good tomato for sauce usually tastes yucky for eating fresh.

    When I make paste, I start with regular tomatoes and quarter them and take out the seeds and juice around the seeds. then I cook them down, put them through a food mill, and cook them down to paste after that.

    I don't make allot for I don't use it much.
