About Meatballs in vodka sauce
Meatballs in vodka sauce is a hearty dish inspired by Italian-American cuisine, combining tender, flavorful ground meat meatballs with a creamy, tangy tomato-based sauce infused with vodka. The meatballs are typically made from beef, pork, or a mix, seasoned with garlic, onion, herbs, and breadcrumbs, and simmered until perfectly tender. The vodka sauce is enriched with cream and Parmesan cheese, adding a rich, velvety texture and depth of flavor. While the dish is indulgent, it offers protein from the meatballs and calcium from the dairy ingredients. However, it’s important to note that the sauce's cream and cheese contribute saturated fats, and the addition of breadcrumbs increases carbohydrate content. To make the dish lighter, lean meats or plant-based alternatives can be used, paired with non-dairy substitutes for the sauce. Often served over pasta, it’s a comforting meal that can be tailored to suit various dietary needs.
