can you substitute diced tomatoes for crushed
Best Answer: diced, stewed, whole, sauce, paste, ketchup all will work with a bit of adding liquid or deleting liquid or whatever else you need to do to make it into sauce. I would use diced or stewed for the crushed or crush whole tomatoes. My second choice would be to use the tomato sauce, or if I didn't have that I would dilute tomato paste. Last resort would be to use ketchup. It has more spices and stuff in it.
