"This is a very tasty recipe that we really enjoy. I love meat but am totally satisfied and love this recipe. It is heart healthy. I am not sure how the nutritional facts will come out because Yves vegetrian ground meat is not in the nut index. To make it even lower in carbs and calories serve it over Tofu pasta. You may be very surprised at how good this meal is"
