Tomato is a good source of vitamins A, C, K, folate, calcium and potassium that help to built strong bones.
Napolitana sauce is wonderful, furthermore is very easy and practical to make. Once you prepare it you can put it in freezer bags and distribute the sauce in 3 or 4 bags that can last up to more than a month frozen. Just take out a bag of Napolitana sauce frozen the night before and the next day you have it ready to give you a touch up to increase its flavor, enjoy it in many ways.
Give that special touch with a quick boil over medium heat and delicately add black pepper and fresh basil or a soft trickle of white wine to give it a different twist.
You can eat it on baked vegetables, grilled chicken breast, on a pasta or when you make Zucchini Pizza, (Find zucchini pizza recipe)
I highly recommend preparing it at home because it is the best way to eat healthy and clean, avoiding the different preservatives and additives that are added to the jars you find in supermarkets. Have you read the labels? How long is the expiration date? If you have the opportunity to read this, make an analysis of what you give and put in your body. Cocina Healthy helps you eat better! Prepare this sauce for you and your family to enjoy a healthy but yummy meal.
