What better combination then Pasta and the Sea. Delicious Shrimp, Tender Calamari and of course, Spaghetti. In a sauce made with Plum Tomatoes this dish will please everyone at the table. Most pasta dishes have a salt content that starts at 700mg and climb from there. Good taste and Great flavor doesn't have to mean a ton of salt. At 308mg of sodium I think you will agree that this dish has it all. Flavor, Spice, Aroma and of course, Satisfying...
