About Penne pasta with pesto
Penne Pasta with Pesto is a classic Italian dish showcasing the vibrant flavors of Mediterranean cuisine. This dish combines smooth, tube-shaped penne pasta with a fresh pesto sauce made from basil, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil. Rich in flavor and texture, pesto provides heart-healthy fats and antioxidants thanks to its olive oil and basil base. The pasta, typically made from durum wheat, serves as a versatile source of carbohydrates, offering sustained energy. While the dish is nutrient-dense, its healthiness depends on portion size and moderation, as pesto can be calorie-dense due to its oil and cheese content. This simple yet satisfying meal is a favorite for its fresh ingredients and robust taste, making it a wholesome choice when balanced with vegetables or lean protein.
