Meatball spaghetti is a classic Italian-American dish consisting of tender, seasoned meatballs served atop a bed of spaghetti noodles, all enveloped in a rich marinara sauce. The meatballs are typically made from ground beef, pork, or a mix of both, blended with breadcrumbs, eggs, garlic, herbs, and cheese for flavor and texture. The marinara sauce features tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, and seasonings, bringing warmth and zest to the dish. While the pasta provides carbohydrates for energy, and the tomatoes contribute antioxidants like lycopene, the dish can be high in calories, saturated fat, and sodium, depending on portion sizes and preparation methods. Healthier adaptations can include whole-grain pasta, lean meats, or plant-based meat alternatives. Meatball spaghetti is an iconic comfort food enjoyed worldwide for its hearty taste and cultural ties to Italian cuisine.
