About Genoese pesto
Genoese Pesto, or Pesto alla Genovese, is a traditional Italian sauce originating from Genoa in the Liguria region. Its vibrant green color comes from fresh basil leaves, blended with garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan or Pecorino cheese, olive oil, and salt. Known for its rich flavor, Genoese Pesto is a staple of Italian cuisine, often enjoyed with pasta, gnocchi, or as a topping for bread and vegetables. This aromatic sauce carries several health benefits due to its nutrient-rich ingredients. Basil provides antioxidants, while olive oil offers heart-healthy fats. Pine nuts contribute magnesium and other essential nutrients. However, the cheese and oil make it calorie-dense, so mindful portion sizes are key for those watching fat or sodium intake. Overall, Genoese Pesto is a delicious way to add bold flavor and beneficial nutrients to meals while maintaining moderation.
