Open can of whole tomatoes and pour into a colander over a large bowl to drain. You can reserve the tomato juice for another use or just drink it! Let the tomatoes drain really well. Sometimes I even break the whole tomatoes apart with a spatula to drain any liquid that's inside the tomatoes.

Once whole tomatoes are thoroughly drained, place them in a food processor or blender.

Add in tomato paste and pulse a few times to puree the whole tomatoes and blend with tomato paste.
