"Francesco Rinaldi" Original Traditional Pasta Sauce

1/2 C has 80 calories, 3g fat, 12g carbs, 2g protein

I made spaghetti for my family and as good as the noodles looked, I decided to have just the meat/sauce mix. I had less than half of a 1/4 C mixed in with the 1/2 C ground beef ... it was so good! :tt1:

Georgia, I looked for the chicken at Walmart without any luck. Is it with the frozen chicken nuggets, etc????

I am definately back with it. I feel aweful tonight. My stomach hurts, and I am really gassy. So not worth it.
