About Pasta with meatballs and marinara sauce
Pasta with meatballs and marinara sauce is a classic Italian-American dish that combines al dente pasta, juicy meatballs, and a rich tomato-based marinara sauce. The pasta provides a source of carbohydrates for energy, while the meatballs, typically made from ground beef, pork, or a mixture, offer protein and essential nutrients like iron and zinc. The marinara sauce, made from tomatoes, garlic, onions, and herbs, is packed with antioxidants, including lycopene, which supports heart health. However, the dish can be calorie-dense, especially if made with refined pasta, high-fat meat, or excessive portions of cheese. To boost its nutritional value, opt for whole-grain pasta, lean meats, or plant-based alternatives for the meatballs, and moderate cheese use. This savory, comforting meal is a beloved staple that embodies the warmth and simplicity of Italian-inspired cuisine.
