Pasta with Pesto Sauce

Pasta with Pesto Sauce

Everyday

Pasta with pesto sauce is a classic Italian dish featuring cooked pasta tossed with a vibrant green sauce made from fresh basil, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil. The uncooked preparation preserves the sauce's bright herbal flavor and nutrient density, offering healthy monounsaturated fats from olive oil and antioxidants from basil. While traditionally served hot or at room temperature, this combination adapts well to whole-grain or legume-based pastas for added fiber and protein.
