Polpetta Fritta, or "fried meatball," is a beloved dish originating from Italian cuisine. Made by combining ground meat such as beef, pork, or a mix of the two with breadcrumbs, eggs, Parmesan cheese, garlic, and fresh herbs like parsley, these savory morsels are rolled into bite-sized balls, lightly coated, and fried to golden perfection. While rich in protein and offering flavorsome satisfaction, they are also high in calories and fats due to the frying process and meat content. For a healthier twist, they can be baked or air-fried to reduce oil consumption. Polpetta Fritta is typically enjoyed as an appetizer, snack, or protein-packed topping for pasta dishes. Though indulgent, their traditional ingredients provide a source of essential nutrients such as iron, calcium, and vitamins from fresh herbs when enjoyed in moderation.
