About Fusilli pasta with pesto
Fusilli Pasta with Pesto is a flavorful dish rooted in Italian cuisine, combining the spiral-shaped fusilli with a vibrant green pesto sauce. The pasta's ridged texture expertly grips the pesto, which is traditionally made from fresh basil, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil. This meal offers a balance of carbohydrates from the pasta and healthy fats from the olive oil and nuts. The basil provides antioxidants, while garlic adds immune-supporting properties. However, the dish can be calorie-dense due to the cheese and oil, so portion control is essential. Opting for whole wheat fusilli can boost its fiber content, supporting heart and digestive health. Whether enjoyed as a main course or a side, Fusilli Pasta with Pesto delivers a satisfying blend of taste and nutrition, making it a popular choice for those craving a fresh and aromatic meal.
