What I know is that I'm an adult and I definitely love it too! with the sauce so zangy (if that's a word) and the whole blend with meat and spaghetti...it just makes a fantastic supper experience!

looks yummie, I like that you dont use any carbs for the meat.. I usually put too many egg whites and end up using loads of bread crumbs...
for a smokey flavor u can pour a little bit of bbq sauce in the sauce
