Pesto Meatballs are a flavorful fusion of Italian-inspired cuisine, combining the savory richness of seasoned ground meat—typically beef, turkey, or chicken—with the zesty, herbaceous notes of pesto sauce. These tender morsels are packed with fresh basil, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and pine nuts blended into the pesto, offering a satisfying burst of flavor. Baked or pan-seared, they maintain a hearty texture while reducing excess fats from frying, making them a healthier option. High in protein from lean meat, they also deliver essential nutrients like healthy fats from olive oil and antioxidants from the basil. Served solo, over pasta, or alongside roasted vegetables, they provide a versatile meal choice. However, pesto can be calorie-dense due to cheese and oil, so portion control is key for those monitoring fat intake. These meatballs are a balanced mix of indulgence and nutrition, celebrating Italian tradition with modern wellness in mind.
