Hi,
could someone help me clear this up for me? Spaghetti with meatballs originated as an Italian-American dish, that is, the Italians added the meatblalls to their sauce when the anglo saxons were horrified of their poor diet..
now, when having a discussion with my friend, I realized I didn´t know if Pre Italian immigration time (to the U.S) Italian recipies had a mixture of tomato sauce and meat. Of course, currently there are plenty of dishes which do (spaghetti alla carbonara, Ragú...) but I´m not sure how old they are. do you know?
thanks.

Tomato sauce in Italian food did not happen until thee 16th century. Tomato's come from the New World, so they didn't have sauce made from this until then. Marinara sauce means sailor, which was a quick sauce for them to make. Has far as putting meat in the dishes is any ones guess.

Actually a Mediterranean diet is pretty healthy. But no, I do not have the direct answer to your question.
