About Red pesto paste
Red pesto paste is a rich, flavorful condiment originating from Italian cuisine, specifically a variation of the traditional Genovese pesto. Unlike its green counterpart, red pesto is made with sun-dried tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, nuts (such as cashews or pine nuts), grated Parmesan cheese, and fresh herbs like basil. Some versions may include a touch of chili for added spice. Its vibrant color and bold taste make it a popular choice for pasta, sandwiches, or as a dip. Nutritionally, red pesto provides healthy fats from olive oil and nuts, along with beneficial antioxidants from sun-dried tomatoes. However, it can be high in sodium and calories due to added cheese and oil, so moderation is key. For a lighter option, variations can replace some oil with roasted red peppers or adjust cheese portions. Enjoy as part of a balanced diet to add flavor while keeping portions mindful.
