About Pasta with pesto sauce
Pasta with pesto sauce is a classic Italian dish originating from Genoa in the Liguria region. The pesto, a vibrant green sauce, is traditionally made by blending fresh basil leaves, pine nuts, garlic, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, and sometimes Pecorino. Served over pasta, the dish is flavorful and aromatic with a creamy yet fresh texture. Nutritionally, pesto is rich in healthy fats from olive oil and pine nuts, offering heart-healthy benefits. Basil provides antioxidants, while Parmesan adds protein and calcium. However, the dish can be calorie-dense due to the oil, cheese, and nuts, making portion control important. Whole-grain pasta is a healthier swap that adds fiber and sustained energy. Easy to prepare and adaptable, pasta with pesto sauce is a comforting and nutritious option for those who enjoy Mediterranean flavors.
