PROS

This spaghetti recipe is hearty, delicious, and easy to make when feeding a crowd.
The beef and mushroom in the recipe bring wonderful umami flavor and the spices are very colorful.

CONS

If not conscious, the meat could be high in saturated fat and consumption should be in moderation.
It can also take some time to get the flavor out of the spices.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

This spaghetti dish, when made with lean beef or turkey instead of full-fat ground beef, can be a good source of protein and vitamin B12. It is also rich in fiber because of the tomato sauce and mushroom used, both of which have good antioxidant properties. Consumption of mushrooms may also help in reducing blood sugar level while controlling inflammation levels in the body.
