About Pasta pesto
Pasta Pesto is a flavorful Italian dish that combines tender pasta with a vibrant basil pesto sauce. Originating from Liguria, Italy, pesto is traditionally made from fresh basil leaves, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil, blended into a creamy, aromatic sauce. While it’s often served with long strands of pasta like spaghetti or linguine, it can also complement shorter varieties like penne. Packed with heart-healthy olive oil and nutrient-rich basil, pesto provides a boost of vitamins and antioxidants. Pine nuts contribute healthy fats, while Parmesan delivers calcium and protein. However, the dish can be calorically dense due to the olive oil and cheese, so portion control is key for those monitoring fat intake. Pairing it with whole-grain pasta can increase fiber content, making it a more balanced option. Flavorful yet simple, Pasta Pesto is a classic example of wholesome Mediterranean cuisine.
