Bring a taste of Italy to your kitchen with this classic favorite, perfect for a midweek supper. Meatballs in tomato sauce combines high-quality meat protein with spices and a rich, flavorful tomato marinade.
Tomatoes are an amazing anti-inflammatory food thanks to their high levels of lycopene, a potent antioxidant. Lycopene is more easily absorbed from tomatoes processed in a paste or sauce. It benefits heart health, blood pressure, blood lipid levels, and more, making this dish a tasty addition to your anti-inflammatory meal plan.
Garlic is renowned as a heart-healthy food with positive effects on blood pressure and circulation, while cinnamon, black pepper, and olive oil help tackle inflammation too.
These meatballs are so delicious I recommend you make two batches and freeze half for when you are too busy to cook!
