    I tried this and loved it. I used a spaghetti sauce from a can and then spiced it up with garlic, basil and oragino. then i served it up on a plate and ate it. i also did toast a piece of bread and put some butter and garlic on it. overall this is very healthy as you are getting a lot of veggatatble - 10/13/07
