Prepared pasta sauces

Did you know that just one cup of jarred pasta sauce can contain 1,000 milligrams of sodium? Even store-bought pesto can have from 190 to 290 milligrams in just 2 tablespoons. Make a big batch of your own sauces, and freeze them in smaller portions. Tip: Creamy sauces don't freeze well, so save those for nights when you have more time to prepare.
