Spaghetti Meatballs are a classic Italian-American dish featuring tender beef or pork meatballs simmered in a rich tomato-based marinara sauce, served over a bed of al dente spaghetti pasta. Typically seasoned with garlic, parsley, breadcrumbs, and Parmesan cheese, the meatballs offer a hearty, flavorful protein source. While the tomatoes in the marinara provide antioxidants like lycopene, the white pasta is often high in refined carbohydrates, which may lack fiber compared to whole grain alternatives. The dish's sodium content can be significant due to the sauce and cheese, so moderation is key. Spaghetti Meatballs can be adapted toward healthier options by using lean meats, whole grain pasta, or low-sodium sauce. Perfect for family dinners, this comforting meal is cherished for its satisfying blend of textures and flavors.
