About Bowtie pasta with pesto sauce

Bowtie pasta with pesto sauce is a classic Italian-inspired dish featuring uniquely shaped farfalle pasta coated in a vibrant green pesto made from fresh basil, garlic, olive oil, pine nuts, and Parmesan cheese. This dish is loved for its balance of hearty pasta and the rich, herbaceous flavors of the sauce. Pesto brings a nutritious element with heart-healthy fats from olive oil and pine nuts, along with antioxidants and vitamins from basil. The pasta itself provides a source of carbohydrates for energy, though choosing whole-grain varieties can add fiber and nutrients. While flavorful and satisfying, the dish can be calorie-dense due to the oil and cheese content, so portion control is key. Bowtie pasta with pesto is perfect as a quick, wholesome meal or a centerpiece of Mediterranean-style dining.
