Have you ever looked at the back of a jar of spaghetti sauce? The first ingredient is tomatoes, and it goes downhill from there. The second most prevalent ingredient in many supermarket sauces is corn syrup and/or other kinds of sugar. Then they hit you with the oils. Sure, there is some of the “good” fats like olive oil, but they are in there for flavoring. Many times you will find other unnecessary oils.
By making your own sauce, you control the sugars and oils and can make a simple, delicious sauce.
The same goes for the meatballs! Our meatballs are made from 50% beef and 50% ground turkey, cutting the fat content drastically.
