I come from along line of Italians. So of course pasta is a big part of my life. Francisco Rinaldi has always been one of my favorite brands of pasta sauce. Its as close to homemade as you can get and comes in lots of varieties so you can switch things up and your dinners are never boring. The Francisco Rinaldi family has a new addition to their product line. In an effort to support the National Sodium Reduction Initiative led by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, Chronic Disease Prevention and Control they have created the To Be Heatly Pasta Sauce. This pasta sauce has reduced sodium, no sugar added, and is fortified with 64mg of DHA Omega 3 per serving. Plus it has only 70 calories per serving. ToBe Healthty is available in four tasty flavors: Tomato & Basil, Garlic & Onion, Garden Vegetable or Spicy Marinara.
My family and I tried out the Tomato & Basil a few nights ago, with some whole wheat pasta to get the full healthy choice experience. I thought it was pretty good and much better than a few other brands of healthy alternatives that I've tried. But you can defintely taste the difference from the regular pasta sauce. Its still delicious, but not quite as delicious as their original pasta sauce. But you have to realize that is is to be expected when you take out the ingredients that aren't good for you. So you basically have to way your options. Do you want to be healthy or have just a little more flavor in your sauce? Personally, I opt for healthy so I can enjoy pasta sauce for many more years to come by maintaining a healthy heart!
