About Meatballs in tomato sauce
Meatballs in Tomato Sauce is a classic dish rooted in Italian cuisine, though variations exist globally. Typically made with ground meat—such as beef, pork, or a mixture—combined with breadcrumbs, eggs, herbs, and spices, the meatballs are gently simmered in a rich tomato sauce. The sauce commonly features ingredients like tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, onions, and aromatic herbs such as basil and oregano. This hearty dish is often paired with pasta or served alongside vegetables. From a nutritional standpoint, it provides a good source of protein from the meat, while the tomatoes offer vitamins like vitamin C and antioxidants such as lycopene. However, depending on preparation, it can be high in saturated fat and sodium, particularly if fatty meats and excessive salt are used. Opting for lean meat, whole-grain breadcrumbs, and minimal added salt can enhance its healthfulness while maintaining its robust flavor profile.
