About Meat sauce
Meat sauce is a savory, versatile condiment commonly associated with Italian cuisine, particularly as a topping for pasta dishes like spaghetti or lasagna. Traditionally, it combines ground meat—often beef or pork—with ingredients like tomatoes, onions, garlic, olive oil, and a blend of herbs such as basil and oregano. Some variations may include wine, cream, or additional vegetables like carrots and celery for added flavor and texture. Nutritionally, meat sauce is a good source of protein and can provide vitamins like B12 and iron from the meat, as well as antioxidants and vitamins A and C from the tomatoes. However, it can be high in calories, sodium, and fat, especially if made with processed meats or excessive oil. Choosing lean meats, reducing added salt, and incorporating more vegetables can make it a healthier option. It’s a comforting, flavorful dish enjoyed worldwide.
