Pesto Penne is a flavorful pasta dish rooted in Italian cuisine, celebrated for its vibrant, herbaceous taste. This dish features penne pasta coated in a rich pesto sauce, traditionally made from basil, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil. The simplicity of ingredients highlights fresh, wholesome flavors while providing essential nutrients. Basil and olive oil contribute antioxidants and heart-healthy fats, while Parmesan offers protein and calcium. Pine nuts are a source of vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats. While delicious, pesto can be calorie-dense due to the olive oil and cheese, so portion control is key. Served with added vegetables or a lean protein, Pesto Penne can be a balanced dish that satisfies both taste and nutritional needs.
