About Meatballs in marinara sauce
Meatballs in marinara sauce is a classic Italian-American dish enjoyed worldwide. This flavorful comfort food typically consists of ground beef or pork mixed with breadcrumbs, eggs, garlic, onions, and herbs like parsley and oregano, shaped into bite-sized spheres and simmered in a robust tomato-based marinara sauce. The marinara is seasoned with garlic, olive oil, basil, and tomatoes, offering a dose of antioxidants like lycopene from the tomatoes. Depending on portion size and preparation, this dish can be a source of protein and vitamins while being high in sodium and fats, especially if the meatballs are made with fatty cuts of meat or served with cheese and pasta. Opting for lean meat and whole-grain pasta can boost its nutritional profile. Popular as a hearty meal or appetizer, meatballs in marinara sauce epitomize comforting home-cooked Italian flavors suited for diverse occasions.
