March is National Nutrition Month<\/strong>, and thanks to Del Monte, I have a great recipe to share with you for Simple Marinara Sauce. It’s my absolute favorite comfort food, a bowl of perfectly cooked thin spaghetti noodles topped with a delicious, fresh-tasting tomato sauce and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese. YUM.<\/p>\n

Did you know?:<\/strong>
\nStudies have shown that tomatoes, which are packed with vitamins and lycopene, may help reduce heart disease risk and protect against certain types of cancers.\u00a0 You might think that taking lycopene alone will help protect heart health \u2013 not true! Lycopene works best when combined with all of the nutrients and vitamins in a tomato.\u00a0 In fact, canned tomatoes (such as Del Monte Stewed Tomatoes) contain more nutrients and lycopene because they are pre-cooked, which enhances their nutritional content.<\/p>\n

Tip: add a healthy fat like olive oil to your meal to help your body absorb those nutrients.<\/p>\n

Instead of cracking open a jar, check out this simple marinara sauce from culinary cutie Dave Lieberman \u2013 toss it on top of pasta for a nutritious and easy meal your kids will love! Happy National Nutrition Month!<\/p>\n
