Comfort food that's low fat and sodium. Good source of carbs to fuel your workouts! The key to keeping the sodium content low in this dish is in choosing a tomato sauce and paste low in sodium. The tomato sauce I like to use is fat free and MUCH lower in sodium, sugars than the one referenced for this recipe. The sauce is an ALDI Product, manufactured by Happy Harvest.
