Spaghetti and Meatballs is a pasta dish consisting of spaghetti (a long, thin, and cylindrically shaped pasta that is of Italian origin), tomato sauce, and meatballs. Though spaghetti originated from Italy, it is said that this particular dish was first cooked in New York by Italian immigrants. However, there are claims that a similar version of this dish was served in Sicily even before it became famous in the USA.

This can be considered as a healthy food. The crushed tomatoes produces Lycopene (cancer fighting agents) when cooked for a certain period of time. Herbs such as fresh basil and parsley also contribute to the health benefits of this dish. In addition, baked meatballs contain less oil and fat compared to the fried ones.

    Aside from burgers and fries, I have to say that I enjoy eating Italian food a lot. I remember growing up in NJ I would go to this Pizza place and order Spaghetti and Meatballs and they would serve you with humongas meatballs. Here the best place you can get that is at Sbarros. Did you know also that when the Italian’s came to America as Immigrants they brought over their taste and flavors. And I read somewhere that the story of Spaghetti and Meatballs goes like this again when the Italian’s came to America they brought over their taste and flavors so they brought over there pasta and put tomato sauce on it. And the story goes it was when they decided to put put a meatball on the pasta so according to the story that’s where Spaghetti and Meatballs goes.
