Farro Pasta with Meatballs combines the hearty richness of Italian cuisine with a modern, nutritious twist. This dish features pasta crafted from farro, an ancient whole grain known for its nutty flavor and high fiber content. Paired with savory, tender meatballs made from lean ground meat, herbs, and spices, it offers a satisfying source of protein. The tomato-based sauce provides an extra dose of vitamins A and C while enhancing flavor without unnecessary fats. Farro’s complex carbohydrates promote sustained energy, while its fiber aids digestion. However, depending on preparation, sodium levels can be significant in the sauce or meatballs, so mindful seasoning is key. This dish serves as a balanced option for those seeking a healthier alternative to traditional pasta while indulging in the comforting essence of Italian meals.
