About Pasta with pesto and nuts
Pasta with pesto and nuts is a flavorful dish rooted in Italian cuisine, particularly from the Ligurian region. This dish features al dente pasta coated in a vibrant green pesto sauce made with fresh basil, garlic, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, and pine nuts, though other nuts like walnuts or almonds are sometimes used for variety. Packed with antioxidants from the basil and heart-healthy monounsaturated fats from the olive oil and nuts, it offers several nutritional benefits. The Parmesan provides protein and calcium, while the garlic contributes antimicrobial properties. However, it can be calorie-dense due to the oil, cheese, and nuts, so portion control is key. For a lighter version, whole-grain pasta or zoodles can be used, and cheese can be reduced. This dish strikes a harmonious balance of rich flavors and wholesome ingredients, making it a delightful option for a quick, nutritious meal.
