About Pesto pasta with egg

Pesto Pasta with Egg is a flavorful dish that blends Italian cuisine's classic elements with a protein-rich twist. It features al dente pasta coated in vibrant basil pesto, a sauce traditionally made from fresh basil, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil. Topped with a perfectly cooked egg, the dish gains extra protein and nutrients like vitamin B12 and choline, promoting muscle health and brain function. Olive oil in the pesto provides heart-healthy fats, while Parmesan adds a touch of calcium and flavor richness. While the dish is nutrient-packed, it can be calorie-dense due to the cheese and oil, making portion control important. With its harmonious blend of herbs and creamy textures, Pesto Pasta with Egg is a delightful way to enjoy a balanced meal inspired by the Mediterranean diet.
