WTF didn't you just dilute tomato paste? Add a tsp of H2O at a time
while stirring until it's the consistancy you want. Or you could use
canned crushed tomatoes, it's thinner than paste but thicker than
sauce.... can make crushed thicker by adding some paste. And you'd
not have to wait for delivery and pay the price of mail order...
canned tomato products are always on sale and plenty to choose from,
practically an entire market aisle.
