Macaroni With Gravy is a hearty dish that blends tender macaroni pasta with rich, savory gravy. Often considered a staple in Italian-American cuisine, "gravy" typically refers to a slow-cooked tomato-based sauce that may include olive oil, garlic, onions, herbs, and simmered meats such as sausage, meatballs, or pork. The macaroni provides energy-boosting carbohydrates, while the sauce offers vitamins like A and C from the tomatoes. However, depending on the recipe, the dish can be high in sodium and saturated fats due to ingredients like cheese, processed meats, and added salt. For a healthier spin, whole-grain macaroni and leaner protein options can be used, along with limiting cheese or oils. This comforting meal showcases a cultural blend of flavors and is often served as a family favorite, especially at Sunday dinners.
