About Pasta with pesto and cheese
Pasta with Pesto and Cheese is a classic dish rooted in Italian cuisine, originating from the Mediterranean region. It features tender pasta, typically made from durum wheat, coated in vibrant, aromatic pesto sauce—a blend of fresh basil, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil. The dish is often topped with additional shredded cheese, enhancing its creamy richness. Packed with healthy fats from olive oil and pine nuts, pesto provides essential nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E. Basil offers antioxidants and a touch of fresh flavor, while the cheese supplies calcium and protein. However, the dish can be calorie-dense due to the oils and cheese, and may be high in sodium depending on preparation. Opting for whole-grain pasta or moderate portion sizes can make it a more balanced meal, supporting energy levels and a heart-healthy diet when consumed responsibly.
