Spaghetti and meatballs is a classic Italian-American dish that combines long, thin spaghetti noodles with tender meatballs simmered in a flavorful tomato-based sauce. Traditionally, the meatballs are made with a blend of ground beef, pork, breadcrumbs, egg, Parmesan cheese, and herbs such as parsley and oregano, providing a rich and savory taste. Typically served as a hearty main course, its nutritional profile varies based on ingredients and preparation methods. Spaghetti provides a source of carbohydrates for energy, while the sauce often incorporates tomatoes rich in vitamins A and C, as well as antioxidants like lycopene. Meatballs contribute protein and essential minerals like iron, though they can be high in saturated fat depending on the meat used. Healthier variations include whole-grain pasta and leaner cuts of meat. While the dish is beloved for its comforting qualities, moderating portion sizes can help balance its calorie density.
