About Pasta with pesto and oil
Pasta with pesto and oil is a simple yet flavorful dish rooted in Italian cuisine, particularly from the Liguria region. It consists of cooked pasta tossed with pesto sauce, traditionally made from fresh basil, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil. This dish is a great source of carbohydrates from the pasta, providing energy, while the olive oil and nuts contribute healthy fats. Fresh basil and garlic offer antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, enhancing its nutritional value. However, it can be calorie-dense due to the oil, cheese, and nuts, so portion control is key for those watching calorie intake. Opting for whole-grain pasta can boost its fiber content, aiding digestion and providing sustained energy. Simple yet aromatic, pasta with pesto and oil highlights the Mediterranean diet’s balance of wholesome ingredients with bold flavors.
