About Meatsauce

Meatsauce is a hearty condiment typically made from ground meat, tomatoes, onions, garlic, and a blend of spices and herbs like oregano and basil. Often associated with Italian cuisine, it is a staple in dishes such as spaghetti Bolognese and lasagna, though variations exist worldwide. Packed with protein from the meat, it also offers vitamins and antioxidants from ingredients like tomatoes and garlic. When prepared with lean meats and low-fat options, meatsauce can be part of a balanced diet. However, it may also be high in saturated fats and sodium, depending on the recipe and meat used. Homemade versions allow for healthier customization, such as reducing added salt or using lean ground turkey. Enjoyed globally, meatsauce is a versatile dish that can cater to a variety of flavor preferences while serving as a source of essential nutrients when consumed in moderation.
