Trader Joe's Whole Foods' Healthy Pasta ( Low Salt )

This Healthy Pasta recipe combines products from three stores, although you could probably find the ingredients in one if you substitute brands.

It's really hard to find a low salt pre-made pasta sauce and good tasting whole wheat pasta.

The majority of pasta sauces have insane amounts of sodium, and most of hte whole wheat pasta I've tried has a cardboard texture.

In this recipe, I've found a great combination, a low salt sauce and a good tasting whoe wheat pasta.
