Instead of buying a jar, make a batch! I put a health-f0rward, high protein spin on a classic sauce. I love that it also makes me feel better for using ingredients my body is more familiar with. You can also add veggies to this by adding in fresh spinach at the end, but I kept it simple. You can increase the protein even more with some grilled chicken on top. I did use Barilla Protein+ pasta which is a favorite so whether you add chicken or not, the ingredients in the sauce and the protein pasta will give you what you're looking for!
