1/5 of this recipe is only about 300 calories and is a very good size portion. I hope it is a good size serving for that amount. But not bad for a dinner with a little salad added on it is a great meal.

I used 1 large can of tomato sauce and the sauce was very thick. You could add some regular tomatoes to thin it out some but I added in about a 1/3 can of water to thin it out.
