About Pasta with pesto and salmon
Pasta with Pesto and Salmon is a flavorful dish blending Italian-inspired cuisine with heart-healthy ingredients. The dish typically features al dente pasta tossed in a vibrant pesto sauce made from fresh basil, garlic, pine nuts, olive oil, and Parmesan cheese. Topped with tender, flaky salmon, it combines protein with omega-3 fatty acids, which are known to support heart and brain health. The pesto brings a rich source of antioxidants and healthy fats, while the pasta provides energy-boosting carbohydrates. Opting for whole-grain pasta can enhance fiber content, making it a more balanced option. While rich in nutrients, the dish can also be calorie-dense due to the cheese, nuts, and oil in the pesto. Choosing light preparation methods and controlling portion sizes can help reduce saturated fat and calorie intake, making it a wholesome yet indulgent meal ideal for a balanced diet.
