Pasta with Vodka Sauce and Meatballs is a comforting Italian-American dish that combines al dente pasta, a creamy tomato-based vodka sauce, and tender, seasoned meatballs. The vodka sauce, made with tomatoes, cream, garlic, onions, and a splash of vodka, delivers rich flavor with a slight tang. The meatballs typically consist of ground beef or a blend of meats, mixed with breadcrumbs, eggs, and herbs for added moisture and taste. While indulgent, this dish offers protein from the meatballs and carbohydrates for energy from the pasta. Tomatoes contribute antioxidants like lycopene, while fresh herbs and garlic add vitamins and minerals. However, the dish is also high in calories, saturated fat, and sodium due to the cream, cheese, and enriched pasta. Enjoy it in moderation as part of a balanced diet, pairing it with a side of fresh greens for added fiber and nutrients.
