About Pesto rice
Pesto Rice is a flavorful dish combining aromatic basmati or jasmine rice with vibrant green pesto, a sauce originating from Italian cuisine. The pesto is traditionally made from fresh basil, pine nuts, garlic, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, and lemon juice, giving the rice a rich, herbaceous taste and creamy texture. This dish is a great source of energy due to the complex carbohydrates in rice, while the olive oil and nuts provide healthy fats. Basil offers antioxidants, while cheese adds protein and calcium. However, pesto rice can be high in sodium and calories from the cheese and oil, so moderation is key for those monitoring their intake. This versatile dish pairs well with roasted vegetables or grilled protein, making it a balanced meal option inspired by the wholesome and Mediterranean flavors of Italy.
