Mind-Blowing Tomato Sauce in the Xtrema 3.5 Qt Saucepan!

Friday nights here in the Xtrema Kitchen are usually set aside for pizza but we were having family in town so we changed it up a bit and went with an eat clean Italian dish this past weekend.  It was really just Penne Pasta, sauce and salad which is pretty basic right? Wrong!

Thanks to Pinterest and Healthy Crush, we went with a homemade tomato sauce that was out of this world!  Mind-Blowing Tomato Sauce-- that's the name of this delicious and all-natural sauce.  For the pasta selection we went with a 100% Whole Wheat Penne from Mara's Pasta.

Here is why we chose Mara's:

  • Unique variety of wheat gives Mara’s a better taste and texture
  • Designed for athletes and others who are looking for more nutritious foods
  • Higher in protein and fiber than other whole grain pastas
  • Grown for Cook Natural Products by a network of US family farmers
  • Cooks faster than other whole grain pastas
  • Made with 100% whole wheat variety specific Maragraintm


If you love great Italian food and eating clean then you will just love this recipe.
