About Polpetta
Polpetta, the Italian term for meatball, is a versatile dish originating from Italy. Typically made by combining ground meats such as beef, pork, or veal with breadcrumbs, eggs, garlic, herbs, and parmesan cheese, these flavor-packed bites are often enjoyed in pasta dishes, soups, or as standalone appetizers. Their rich texture and savory taste make them a staple in Italian cuisine. On the nutritional side, polpette are a good source of protein thanks to the meat and eggs. However, they can be high in fat depending on the choice of meat and preparation method, especially if fried. Healthier versions can be baked or made with lean meat alternatives. By incorporating whole-grain breadcrumbs and additional vegetables into the mix, polpette can be a more balanced option while still delivering the traditional Italian flavors everyone loves.
