About Meatballs with pasta
Meatballs with pasta is a classic dish rooted in Italian-American cuisine, combining tender beef or pork meatballs with al dente pasta, typically spaghetti, and a rich tomato-based marinara sauce. The meatballs are often seasoned with garlic, onion, herbs like parsley or basil, and breadcrumbs for texture. This hearty meal is a source of protein from the meat and carbohydrates from the pasta, making it energy-dense. The tomato sauce adds a dose of vitamins A and C, along with antioxidants like lycopene. Whole grain pasta can be used for added fiber and nutrients, while lean meat options reduce saturated fat. However, traditional versions may include high sodium levels in the sauce and cheese toppings, along with excess calories from large portions. Moderation, along with ingredient substitutions, can make this beloved dish a more balanced option for a satisfying meal.
