HEALTH & BENEFITS

This Fbd Chilled Spicy Italian Sausage Pasta is loaded with nutrients, vitamins and minerals.
Italian sausage provides plenty of protein, while grape tomatoes, shredded carrots, and celery all provide fiber, vitamins A, C and K.
Whole wheat bow tie pasta is a healthier alternative to traditional processed pasta because it is made with the whole grain, giving it its fiber and protein content.
Pesto sauce is known for its immune-boosting properties due to the basil, garlic, and olive oil it contains, which makes it a healthy alternative to traditional pasta sauces.
