Baked Spaghetti with Chicken Meatballs is a delightful fusion of Italian-inspired comfort food and healthier protein choices. The dish features tender spaghetti tossed in a rich, flavorful marinara sauce, layered with seasoned chicken meatballs, and topped with a blend of melted cheeses for irresistible gooeyness. Using ground chicken for the meatballs instead of traditional ground beef reduces saturated fat content, making it a leaner protein option. The marinara sauce provides a hearty dose of lycopene, an antioxidant found in tomatoes, while optional vegetable add-ins like spinach or zucchini boost the nutrient profile. Cheese adds calcium and flavor but also contributes to higher sodium and fat levels, so moderation is key. Typically baked to golden perfection, this dish offers a satisfying balance of indulgence and nutrition, ideal for families or meal prep.
