Notes

Please note that the nutrition data given here is a ballpark figure. Exact data is not possible.

For a smoother texture, add a little extra water to the food processor, and then strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing with a spatula to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids. The recipe (as written) will give you a thicker sauce as pictured.
