Pasta al Pesto is a flavorful Italian dish originating from the Ligurian region. It features al dente pasta coated in a vibrant, aromatic pesto sauce made from fresh basil, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan or Pecorino cheese, and olive oil. This classic dish is a celebration of simplicity and wholesome ingredients. Basil provides antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory properties, while olive oil is rich in heart-healthy fats. Pine nuts contribute protein, vitamins, and minerals, making them a nutritious addition. However, due to its cheese and oil content, the dish can be calorie-dense, so portion control is key for those monitoring calorie intake. Typically served on its own or alongside protein-rich options, Pasta al Pesto is a balanced choice that delivers bold flavors while showcasing the best of Mediterranean cuisine.
