| This is my favorite its good its quick and its delicious and best of all its good for you, so if you would give me some feed back on this recipe and tell me what you think. List of ingredients Healthy harvest-Whole wheat blend pasta-spaghetti style 1 whole can of Hunts tomato sauce I buy the 16 fl. Oz. of Heavy Whipping Cream-ultra pasteurized Garlic Powder Italian seasoning-classic herbs Granulated onion Powder 1 pound of 96% fat free hamburger meat You will need to boil 6oz of spaghetti noodles, while that’s boiling, cook the 1 lb of hamburger meat, and while that’s cooking dump the tomato sauce in a different small to medium sized pan, then put about 3 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream in with the sauce add about 3 shakes of the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and onion powder each into the sauce as well, bring to a simmer stirring occasionally. While that is simmering make sure your noodles are just the way you like them and your hamburger meat well done and drain as you normally would into a strainer. Now mix all of the ingredients together. The cooked noodles, hamburger meat and the sauce you just prepared into the pan you cooked the noodles in and stir it all around making sure you get the sauce on everything. 1/3 of this has about 45 carbs about 35 grams of protein about 8 grams of fat, and about 392 calories and about 800-900 mg of sodium. So probably a real good thing to eat about an hour or so after you lift. |

| not bad...but why use the heavy whipping cream? I would choose olive oil or even better flax instead of the cream. Also, stirring in some nutritional yeast with olive/flax in with the noodles makes them super extra tasty and gives the dish a little boost in terms of b-complex vitamin. ...I would also use fresh cloves of garlic instead of garlic powder, again for taste and all the health benefits associated with it. Same goes for the onion powder. If your going to use onion, might as well use fresh and reap the benefits of whole food. Just my 2 cents. |

| I agree w/ subbing the olive oil for the heavy whipping cream. You can get about the same amount of calories from the olive oil and it would be a much healthier fat. Italian food and olive oil go together perfectly, anyway. |

| I only added the whipping cream for little different taste, it sort of neutralize the strong tomato taste, and gives its own unique taste. Another thing that I do is add whole black olives and mushrooms to it as well "yum". I guess what I dont understand, you said to add olive oil to it for more health, but I was looking at some extra virgin olive oil that I have here at the house and it has way more fat 14grams in it then the heavy whipping cream 5 grams, how it that more healthy. heres what my extra virgin olive oil says nutrition facts fat 14g saturated fat 2g I know that this one is horrable for you. trans fat 0g polyunsaturated fat 1.5g I know that this is the healthy fat that is good for you. monounsaturated fat 10g This one I dont know nothing about. oh and it also says that it has 14g of fat but if I added up right there are only 13.5g of fat in there, so where are they getting the other .5g at. Thanks for all your comments so far I do appreciate them. please keep them coming. |

| Unsaturated fats are actually good for you. Saturated fats, such as the fats in dairy and meats are bad. Do a google search on the health benefits of olive oil, and I'm sure you'll be overwhelmed w/ reasons why it should be used instead. |

| has anyone tried this recipe yet????? |

| I haven't tried it but am curious if you've considered moving away from the cream and toward the olive oil to take advantage of the many health benefits of it. |

I found something a little different, its called " sadaf " Sadaf, Pure Grapeseed Oil no cholesterol High on antioxidants serving size 1 tbsp total fat 14g saturated fat 1g polyunsaturated fat 10g Monunsaturated fat 3g this looked better to me then the Olive oil. |

| Sounds solid, but who knows about the taste? Try it and let us know. |

| The monounsaturated fatty acids are typically either omega 3 or omega 6 and i know you guys have heard of those but most people draw the connection with the supplements flaxseed oil or fish oils. So actually i would stick with the EVOlive oil. Not all fats are created equal. See the body cannot create these monounsaturated fats and therefore ingestion is required. With that said, olive oil, avocados, and fish are a few items that contain these essential fats. |

grape seed oil is excellent...but the cold pressed high quality stuff can get quite pricey. I wouldn't cook with it (although it is ideal for high temperature cooking)...I mainly use it as a base for a salad dressing... |

| I just think olive oil is a no-brainer for Italian food. It goes well, tastewise, and the health benefits are there. |
