Tomato sugo is coarser than tomato passata as it’s made from chopped tomatoes, whereas the tomatoes for passata are sieved, making it more like a puree. Sugo can be used in soups, stews and sauces, or any other dish where a tomato flavour is desired, but without the texture or acidity of fresh tomatoes. Bowls of hot pasta with sugo on cold nights is Maggie's idea of fast food!
