Meatballs in sauce is a hearty dish that combines tender, seasoned meatballs with a savory, flavorful sauce. Commonly found in Italian cuisine, the meatballs are typically made from ground beef, pork, or a mix, blended with breadcrumbs, eggs, herbs, and spices. The sauce is often a tomato-based marinara, rich in garlic, onion, and olive oil. This dish provides a good source of protein and vitamins from the tomatoes, but it can also be high in fat and sodium depending on preparation and portion size. Opting for lean meats, whole-grain breadcrumbs, and reduced-sodium ingredients can make it a healthier choice. Popular worldwide, it’s often served alongside pasta, rice, or as a sandwich filling, showcasing its versatility and comforting appeal.
