About Half cup pasta with pesto

Half Cup Pasta with Pesto is a simple yet flavorful dish inspired by traditional Italian cuisine. It features tender pasta cooked to perfection and coated in a vibrant pesto sauce made from fresh basil, olive oil, garlic, pine nuts, and Parmesan cheese. Known for its aromatic and rich taste, pesto brings natural antioxidants and heart-healthy fats from the olive oil, while basil adds essential vitamins and minerals. This small serving size balances indulgence and health, making it an excellent option for portion control. While the dish is rich in healthy fats and nutrients, it’s moderate in carbohydrates and sodium due to the pasta and Parmesan content. Perfect as a quick meal or side dish, this option highlights the importance of mindful eating, blending great taste with nutritional awareness.
