Tortellini al Pesto is a classic Italian dish that combines small, ring-shaped pasta filled with cheese or meat and a rich, flavorful pesto sauce made from fresh basil, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil. Originating from Emilia-Romagna in northern Italy, tortellini are a beloved staple in Italian cuisine. The vibrant green pesto sauce adds a fresh and aromatic touch to the dish. Tortellini al Pesto is a good source of protein and calcium from the pasta filling and the Parmesan cheese. The olive oil provides heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, while the basil delivers antioxidants. However, the dish can be high in calories, sodium, and fat depending on the filling and the amount of sauce used. Pairing it with a side of fresh vegetables or a light salad can make it a more balanced meal option.
