Venice Meatballs are a classic Italian dish inspired by the rich culinary traditions of Venice. These flavorful morsels typically combine lean ground beef or pork with breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, fresh parsley, and eggs for binding, seasoned with salt and pepper. Often simmered in a zesty tomato sauce, they pair beautifully with pasta or polenta. From a nutritional standpoint, Venice Meatballs are a good source of protein, supporting muscle repair and growth. When made with lean meats and controlled portions of cheese, they can be a balanced option. However, their calorie count can rise depending on the fat content of the meat and the quantity of cheese and breadcrumbs used. Opting for baked rather than fried preparation can make them a healthier choice, while adding whole-grain breadcrumbs and serving with a side of vegetables boosts their nutritional value even further.
