About Meat sause
Meat sauce is a flavorful, hearty condiment commonly associated with Italian cuisine, notably used in dishes like spaghetti Bolognese or lasagna. Its base typically combines ground meat, such as beef, pork, or veal, with tomatoes, onions, garlic, olive oil, and an assortment of herbs like basil and oregano. Some recipes may include red wine, milk, or additional vegetables for depth of flavor. While meat sauce is rich in protein, iron, and lycopene from the tomatoes, its health profile varies depending on preparation methods. Leaner cuts of meat and minimal added oil can make it healthier, whereas versions with high-fat meats, excessive salt, or sugar can increase calorie and sodium content. Moderation, along with pairing it with whole-grain pasta or vegetables, can enhance its nutritional balance. Meat sauce offers a comforting, versatile option that celebrates the heartiness of traditional Italian cooking.
