About Ricotta e noci pesto

Ricotta e Noci Pesto is a creamy and flavorful sauce originating from Italian cuisine, typically enjoyed with pasta dishes or as a spread. This pesto combines ricotta cheese, crushed walnuts, olive oil, garlic, and Parmesan cheese for a rich texture and nutty taste. The ricotta provides a good source of protein and calcium, supporting bone health. Walnuts are nutrient-dense, packed with heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and essential vitamins that promote brain and heart health. Olive oil contributes monounsaturated fats, which may help reduce inflammation and support overall cardiovascular wellness. Parmesan adds a bold flavor but is high in sodium, so moderation is key for those monitoring salt intake. While indulgent, the natural ingredients make this pesto a nourishing option when enjoyed in balance as part of a healthy Mediterranean-inspired diet.
