About Polpette al sugo
Polpette al Sugo is a classic Italian dish consisting of tender, slow-cooked meatballs simmered in a rich tomato sauce. Traditionally made with a mixture of ground meats such as beef, pork, or veal, the meatballs are seasoned with garlic, parsley, breadcrumbs, and Parmesan for added flavor. The tomato sauce is often made with olive oil, onions, garlic, and ripe tomatoes, sometimes infused with herbs like basil or oregano. Originating from Southern Italy, this comforting dish is high in protein and rich in vitamins like lycopene from the tomatoes. However, nutritional considerations include its fat content, which can vary based on the type of meat and cooking method used. For a healthier version, lean meats, whole-grain breadcrumbs, and minimal oil can be substituted. Typically served over pasta or with crusty bread, Polpette al Sugo remains a beloved staple of Italian cuisine.
