About Protein pesto pasta

Protein Pesto Pasta combines the rich, savory flavors of Italian cuisine with a nutritious twist. This dish features whole-grain pasta, providing a boost of fiber, paired with a creamy basil pesto sauce made from olive oil, fresh herbs, garlic, pine nuts, and Parmesan cheese. To elevate its protein content, lean grilled chicken or plant-based protein alternatives are added, making it a satisfying option for muscle health and energy. Packed with antioxidants from the pesto’s fresh basil and heart-healthy fats from olive oil, this dish supports overall wellness. While it offers many health benefits, the sauce can be calorie-dense due to the oil and cheese, so mindful portions are key. Ideal for a balanced meal, Protein Pesto Pasta exemplifies how classic Mediterranean flavors can fit seamlessly into a nutritious lifestyle.
