About Pesto pasta
Pesto pasta is a classic Italian dish that features pasta tossed in a vibrant, flavorful pesto sauce made from fresh basil, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil. Originating in Genoa, Italy, this dish highlights the simplicity and richness of Mediterranean cuisine. Pesto is packed with antioxidants and healthy fats, primarily from the olive oil and pine nuts, making it a heart-friendly choice. The fresh basil provides essential vitamins like A, C, and K, while garlic adds antibacterial and immune-boosting properties. However, the Parmesan cheese and oil contribute to its calorie and fat content, making portion control important for those mindful of their diet. Often served with pasta varieties such as spaghetti, linguine, or penne, pesto pasta is a delicious way to incorporate fresh herbs and wholesome ingredients into your meal. Pair with veggies or lean protein for a balanced plate.
