Tortellini with pesto is a classic Italian dish combining tender, ring-shaped pasta stuffed with cheese or meat and coated in a vibrant, herbaceous pesto sauce. Originating from the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy, tortellini offers a rich culinary tradition steeped in flavor and craftsmanship. The pesto, traditionally made from fresh basil, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil, provides a nutrient boost with heart-healthy fats and antioxidants from the olive oil and basil. Tortellini itself is a source of carbohydrates and protein, depending on the filling. While this dish delivers bold flavor and some nutritional benefits, certain variations may be high in calories, sodium, and fats from cheese and oil. Pairing it with a side of fresh vegetables or a light salad can help balance its indulgent qualities and transform it into a more wholesome meal.
