We added carrot and fresh garlic to this spaghetti sauce, and even made the meatballs healthier by using whole wheat breadcrumbs and fresh parsley. We suggest serving over the whole grain pasta of your choice.

HEART FRIENDLY SPAGHETTI SAUCE
I found this on a diabetic website awhile back. As my DH refuses to touch that looks like it might be healthy I froze the remaining sauce in 5 small zip bags. It freezes very well and is handy to have in serving sizes. I just defrost them in the micro. It's tasty as well as handy which is always a good thing.
