About Meatball casserole
Meatball Casserole is a hearty and comforting dish combining tender meatballs with layers of pasta, marinara sauce, and melted cheese. Originating from Italian-American cuisine, it is a fusion of classic spaghetti and meatballs with the baked goodness of a casserole. Typically, meatballs are made from ground beef or pork blended with breadcrumbs, eggs, and herbs, offering protein and iron. The marinara sauce provides lycopene, an antioxidant found in tomatoes. Cheese contributes calcium, though its saturated fat content balances the health benefits. Pasta adds carbohydrates for energy but can be high in calories, making portion control important. Vegetable additions like spinach, zucchini, or bell peppers can enhance its nutritional profile, adding fiber and vitamins. While indulgent, opting for leaner meats and whole-grain pasta can make this classic dish a more health-conscious choice without compromising flavor. This casserole is perfect for satisfying cravings and feeding a crowd.
