About Spaghetti with meatball and marinara sauce

Spaghetti with Meatballs and Marinara Sauce is a classic Italian-American comfort dish. It features al dente spaghetti noodles topped with juicy meatballs made from a blend of ground beef and/or pork, breadcrumbs, and seasonings, nestled in a rich, flavorful marinara sauce made from ripe tomatoes, garlic, onions, olive oil, and fragrant herbs like basil and oregano. The dish is a good source of protein from the meat and provides energy through its carbohydrate-rich pasta. Tomatoes in the marinara sauce offer beneficial antioxidants like lycopene, while olive oil delivers heart-healthy fats. However, its calorie content can be high depending on portion size, and some recipes may contain high levels of sodium, fat, and refined carbs. Moderation and balanced servings make this dish compatible with a nutritious diet, especially when paired with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables for added fiber and nutrients.
