About Penne pesto
Penne Pesto is a classic Italian dish that combines tender penne pasta with vibrant, aromatic basil pesto sauce. The pesto is traditionally made with fresh basil leaves, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, and extra virgin olive oil, creating a flavorful and creamy coating for the pasta. This dish is a great source of carbohydrates from the pasta, providing energy, while the olive oil and pine nuts contribute heart-healthy monounsaturated fats. Basil adds antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, while Parmesan offers calcium and protein. However, it can be calorie-dense due to the olive oil and cheese content, so portion sizes should be considered for those monitoring fat and caloric intake. Penne Pesto is celebrated for its simplicity, rich flavors, and ties to Italy's Ligurian region, making it a wholesome yet indulgent choice for pasta lovers.
