About Pesto genovese
Pesto Genovese is a classic Italian sauce originating from Genoa in the Liguria region. Its vibrant green color comes from fresh basil, which is blended with garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan or Pecorino cheese, olive oil, and sometimes salt. This uncooked sauce is renowned for its rich and aromatic flavor, making it a beloved accompaniment to pasta, vegetables, and seafood. Nutritionally, Pesto Genovese is high in healthy fats due to olive oil and pine nuts and contains essential vitamins such as vitamin K and antioxidants from basil. However, it is calorie-dense and can be high in sodium because of the cheese, so portion control is key. Pesto Genovese offers a flavorful way to incorporate plant-based ingredients into meals while adding a Mediterranean touch of flair and nutrition.
