About Spaghetti with meatballs and tomato sauce

Spaghetti with meatballs and tomato sauce is a classic Italian-American dish featuring tender pasta, savory beef or pork meatballs, and rich tomato sauce, often seasoned with garlic, onions, and herbs like basil or oregano. Originating from Italian immigrant cuisine in the U.S., it blends hearty flavors with comforting textures. The spaghetti provides a source of carbohydrates for energy, while the tomato sauce offers vitamins like C and potassium, along with antioxidants such as lycopene. The meatballs contribute protein, iron, and B vitamins but can be high in saturated fat and calories, depending on preparation. Opting for lean meat, whole-grain pasta, or adding vegetables can enhance its nutritional profile. Though indulgent, this dish can be part of a balanced diet when served in moderation and paired with lighter side dishes like a fresh green salad.
