About Pasta and meatballs with red sauce
Pasta and meatballs with red sauce is a comforting Italian-American classic. This dish features al dente pasta, juicy meatballs made from a mix of ground beef and seasonings, and a rich marinara sauce crafted with tomatoes, garlic, onions, and herbs. Often topped with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, it delivers a satisfying balance of savory flavors. The dish is a good source of protein and carbohydrates, making it energy-boosting, while tomatoes in the red sauce provide vitamins A and C along with antioxidants like lycopene. However, it can be high in calories, sodium, and saturated fats, depending on portion size and preparation, so moderation is key. Swapping refined pasta for whole grain and choosing leaner proteins or turkey meatballs can make it a healthier option while still maintaining its hearty appeal.
