About Molho pesto
Molho Pesto, or simply pesto sauce, originates from Italian cuisine, specifically the Liguria region. Traditionally, it is made by blending fresh basil leaves, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil into a vibrant green condiment. This flavorful sauce is commonly paired with pasta, but it also enhances salads, sandwiches, and grilled dishes. Pesto is rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats from olive oil and pine nuts, and it provides antioxidants such as vitamin E and beta-carotene from basil. Parmesan cheese adds protein and calcium, but the sauce is high in sodium, so moderation is key. While pesto offers nutritional benefits, its calorie density and fat content may not suit all diets, making portion control important. Variations of pesto can include walnuts, pecorino cheese, or even spinach for creative spins on the classic recipe.
