Two Meatballs are a savory dish commonly associated with Italian cuisine, often enjoyed as part of a pasta meal or as an appetizer. Typically made with a blend of ground beef and pork, breadcrumbs, eggs, and seasonings like garlic and parsley, they are cooked by baking, frying, or simmering in marinara sauce. Nutritionally, meatballs provide protein and iron from the meat, making them a satisfying and energy-sustaining option. However, they can be high in saturated fat, especially if made with fattier meat cuts or fried in oil. Choosing lean meats and baking them instead of frying can make them a healthier choice. Pairing meatballs with a side of vegetables and whole-grain pasta can enhance their nutritional profile further. Depending on preparation, they can fit into various diets while still delivering robust flavor and cultural charm.
