About Italian meatballs
Italian Meatballs are a classic dish originating from Italy, typically made using a blend of ground beef, pork, or veal mixed with breadcrumbs, eggs, finely chopped onions, garlic, and herbs such as parsley and basil. These hearty creations are often seasoned with salt, pepper, and sometimes Parmesan cheese for added flavor. Traditionally, they're simmered in a rich tomato-based sauce and served with pasta or on their own. From a nutritional standpoint, Italian Meatballs provide a good source of protein due to the meat content, supporting muscle growth and recovery. The inclusion of herbs and garlic offers antioxidants and anti-inflammatory benefits. However, depending on preparation, they can be high in saturated fat and sodium, particularly when made with fatty cuts of meat or served with heavy sauces. Choosing lean meats and moderating portion size can make them a more balanced addition to your meal.
