Spaghetti with meatballs and sauce is a classic Italian-American dish featuring tender pasta, flavorful tomato-based marinara, and juicy meatballs typically made from a mix of ground beef, pork, or turkey, combined with breadcrumbs, herbs, and spices. The marinara sauce often includes ingredients like ripe tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, and basil, adding depth and richness. High in carbohydrates from the pasta, the dish provides energy, while the meatballs offer protein and essential nutrients like iron and zinc. Olive oil and tomatoes contribute antioxidants and heart-healthy fats. However, the dish can be high in calories and saturated fats, especially if made with fatty meats or topped with excess cheese. Homemade versions allow for healthier customizations, such as whole-grain pasta or lean meat. Balanced portions and mindful preparation can make this comforting dish a delicious part of a nutritious meal plan.
