Alessio’s Spaghetti Sauce

This jar of spaghetti sauce holds 32 ounces of authentic homemade sauce. Watching salt? A half-cup serving of Alessio’s spaghetti sauce has a mere 179 milligrams of sodium - an incredible find when you are limiting the sodium in your diet. Be assured, there is no sacrifice in flavor. The recipe for this sauce is an Alessio family heirloom – fresh ingredients, and just the right blend of herbs and spices.

Pick up some heart-healthy monounsaturated fat in the 100% olive oil, which is the only fat in the recipe. Each serving also provides 3 grams of fiber.

Tomatoes contain a compound called lycopene which has strong antioxidant capabilities. Cooking tomatoes, as in spaghetti sauce, increases the lycopene content and makes it more readily available to our bodies. Preliminary studies suggest a link between consuming foods containing lycopene and a reduction in certain cancers.

Alessio’s is all natural, contains no preservatives, no high-fructose corn syrup and no added starch. The label tells the family’s engaging story of how this sauce came to be. In addition to selling their jarred sauce in supermarkets, Alessio’s continues to sell their sauce at a Lancaster County, Pennsylvania farmers market.

We feel sure you’ll enjoy this all natural sauce for your next taste of Italy.
