As I ate out in a restaurant, I am unsure of what ingredients were used when cooking, therefore one way of ensuring your dish is healthy, is to cook it yourself.
Here are more ways to improve the spaghetti:
-Use Olive oil instead of normal oil
-Add vegetables to the sauce, not just tomato puree and minced meat
-Use 'decent' spaghetti, e.g. wholemeal spaghetti
Ways to improve the minestrone soup:
-Discard bacon, it is optional
-Replace chicken stock with vegetable stock
-Add more vegetables: beans, cabbage, tomato, carrot
This modified dish is healthier as it increases the dietary fibre content of the meal, by adding more vegetables. Also, it ensures the fat intake is not higher than needed as olive oil is used- which is healthier than normal oil. Also, the spaghetti is healthier, ensuring the carbohydrate intake is not elevated. Thus, this meal would be healthier.
