It seems that every food blog, magazine or show has a great idea on how to pack in more nutritious ingredients into favourites. One our favourites is meat sauce with spaghetti. It is a classic for many families however I tried a new recipe that not only was tasty but healthier. The combination of fresh tomato pulp and spinach is perfect for men who are concerned about their prostate health. Of course the ground meat adds protein to the dish making it a hearty meal for all.

1 onion, diced
1 tbsp minced garlic
salt
pepper
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tbsp oregano

1. Saute onion and garlic for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the seasonings and stir in the ground meat. Cook for 10 minutes or until brown.

2. Pour in the tomato pulp and simmer for 15 minutes on medium heat.

3. After 15 minutes add the spinach the sauce pot a little bunch at a time as to not overflow the pot. Once all the of the spinach as been incorporated into the sauce continue simmering for another 15 minutes.

4. Serve this delicious and nutritious sauce on your favourite pasta and sprinkle with your favourite hard cheese.
