Spaghetti and Meatballs is a classic Italian-American dish that combines tender pasta with flavorful meatballs simmered in a rich tomato sauce. Typically made with spaghetti noodles, meatballs consist of ground beef or a blend of beef and pork, breadcrumbs, eggs, and seasonings such as garlic, parsley, and Parmesan cheese. The sauce, often crafted from tomatoes, onions, garlic, olive oil, and herbs like basil and oregano, complements the dish with tangy depth. This meal is a source of protein from the meatballs and carbohydrates from the pasta, providing sustained energy. The tomato sauce delivers antioxidants, including lycopene, which supports heart health. However, its nutritional profile depends on preparation; store-bought sauces and overly refined pasta may contain excess sodium and added sugars. For a healthier version, opt for whole grain pasta, lean meats, and homemade sauce to control ingredients and maximize nutritional benefits.
