Tomato sauce, puree and paste
I used to use 1 can tomato sauce, 1 can puree and 1 small can of paste. Stores no longer carry puree. How can I adjust? Thinking of adding 2 sauce and larger can of paste. Thoughts...

Your idea of using 2 sauce instead of sauce + puree will work.
Other ways to replace the pureed tomatoes -
* buy called passata - an Italian version of pureed tomatoes - may be in the imported or foreign foods section. Probably more expensive than local products, but usually tastes very good.
* buy any format canned tomatoes (whole or diced). Mash up the whole with a fork or potato masher. Or puree either in a blender, processor or bowl with stick blender.
