About Basil pesto sauce
Basil pesto sauce is a vibrant and aromatic condiment originating from Italian cuisine, specifically the Liguria region. Made from fresh basil leaves, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, and a touch of salt, it delivers a rich and savory flavor with a creamy texture. Packed with healthy fats from olive oil and pine nuts, pesto is also a good source of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals from basil and garlic. Parmesan contributes protein and calcium, although the sauce can be high in calories and sodium depending on the recipe. Traditionally served with pasta, vegetables, or as a spread, pesto offers versatility and a taste of Mediterranean nutrition. While delicious in moderation, those watching their calorie or fat intake may want to be mindful of portion sizes.
