About Pesto di rucola
Pesto di Rucola, or arugula pesto, is a vibrant and slightly peppery variation of the traditional Italian basil pesto. Originating from Italy, it features fresh arugula leaves blended with olive oil, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic, pine nuts, and a touch of lemon juice for added brightness. This delicious sauce is typically used as a topping for pasta, a spread for sandwiches, or a dip for vegetables. Arugula is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as antioxidants that support overall health and boost immunity. Olive oil provides heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, and pine nuts offer a source of protein and magnesium. However, its calorie content can be significant due to the cheese, nuts, and oil, making portion control important for those mindful of their intake. Pesto di Rucola is a flavorful way to add nutrients and Mediterranean flair to your meals.
