About Pesto alla calabrese
Pesto Alla Calabrese is a flavorful sauce originating from Calabria in southern Italy, celebrated for its bold and vibrant taste. Unlike the traditional basil-based pesto, this variation combines sweet red bell peppers, ricotta cheese, garlic, olive oil, and a hint of chili for subtle heat. Some recipes may also include tomatoes or aged cheese, adding depth and richness to the sauce. Packed with antioxidants from red peppers and heart-healthy fats from olive oil, this pesto offers some nutritional benefits. However, its creamy texture and caloric density come from ricotta and optional Parmesan, so portion control is key for those monitoring fat or calorie intake. Typically served with pasta, on toasted bread, or as a dip, Pesto Alla Calabrese is a versatile and delicious way to enjoy the bold flavors of Calabria.
