Pesto Rosso, also known as red pesto, is a flavorful Italian condiment originating from Sicily. Unlike the traditional green basil pesto, Pesto Rosso is made with sun-dried tomatoes, olive oil, Parmesan or Pecorino cheese, garlic, basil, and nuts, typically almonds or pine nuts. Its bold, savory flavor comes from the richness of the tomatoes blended with aromatic herbs and the creamy texture of the cheese. Pesto Rosso contains heart-healthy fats from olive oil and nuts, as well as antioxidants from the sun-dried tomatoes, known for their lycopene content. However, it can be high in sodium due to the cheese and tomatoes, and its caloric density should be considered when incorporating it into meals. It pairs well with pasta, roasted vegetables, or as a spread for sandwiches, adding a burst of Mediterranean-inspired taste to your dishes. Use sparingly for a healthy balance.
