Nutritional Facts of Classico Spaghetti Sauces

Classico store-bought spaghetti sauce is a great thing to keep in the pantry to have on hand when you need a quick meal. If you are dieting or just health conscious, the tomato-based varieties are low in fat and calories and full of antioxidants. Be aware that Classico's Alfredo and cheese sauces have almost twice as many calories per serving as the tomato-based varieties, along with a lot more fat. Serve any of these sauces over pasta, and you can have a meal on the table in a matter of minutes.
