This is a good main dish for a normal diet because it has a good ammount of carbohydrates and is high in vegetables, and therefore vitamin C. It is also very high in Iron (7%), Vitamin C (45%), and Calcium (8%), all necessary for a balanced diet. There is not too much fat (considering that meat is being used), and of the 7.4 grams of fat, only 2.6 grams are saturated. We used whole wheat pasta, low fat cheese, less oil than usual, low fat cream of mushroom soup, low fat tomato soup, and more vegetables to make a more healthy meal. Unfortunately, there are fat, cholesterol, and sodium problems. If meat were added to it, the protein levels could have been increased as well.
