That’s impressive, only 79 calories, and has cooked tomatoes which are good for prostate health and anti aging because of the lycopene content. And garlic and olive oil is good for the heart. So full of anti aging benefits all round.

What a great recipe! I wonder if there is a way to make something similar but raw. So many great vegetable dishes can be made with less than 200 calories. They are the key to weight loss.
