About Zucchini with pesto
Zucchini with pesto is a simple yet flavor-packed dish that combines fresh zucchini with vibrant basil pesto sauce. Originating from Italian cuisine, this combination highlights Mediterranean flavors with a focus on seasonal produce. The zucchini, either sautéed, roasted, or spiralized into "zoodles," provides a low-calorie, nutrient-rich base that is high in fiber, vitamins C and A, and antioxidants. The pesto, made from basil, pine nuts, garlic, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, and sometimes lemon juice, adds a rich and aromatic dimension. While pesto is nutrient-dense due to healthy fats from olive oil and pine nuts, it can be calorie-heavy depending on portion size. This dish is a fantastic choice for those seeking a vegetarian option packed with vitamins and heart-healthy fats, but those watching calorie or sodium intake should consume pesto in moderation. Perfect as a side dish or light main course, it embodies wholesome, Mediterranean-inspired eating.
