Trofie al Pesto is a traditional Italian dish hailing from Liguria, a coastal region in northwest Italy. It features trofie pasta, a short, twisted variety known for its firm texture, paired with pesto, a vibrant green sauce made from fresh basil, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil. The dish celebrates simple, natural ingredients and Mediterranean flavors. Basil and olive oil provide antioxidants and heart-healthy fats, while pine nuts contribute protein and essential nutrients like magnesium and zinc. Parmesan adds depth but also increases sodium and saturated fat content, which should be consumed in moderation. Typically served without heavy cream or additional fats, Trofie al Pesto is lighter than many other pasta dishes, making it a wholesome choice when enjoyed in reasonable portions.
