Pesto Rosso
Pesto Rosso is an Italian-style red pesto sauce commonly used as a pasta condiment, sandwich spread or flavoring for grilled vegetables and meats; it typically features sun-dried tomatoes, nuts, cheese and olive oil and is popular in Mediterranean cuisine. Nutritionally it is calorically dense and high in fat — it contains 42.3g of fat per 100g — and is usually used in relatively small amounts to add rich flavor. It supplies healthy monounsaturated fats and vitamin K from its olive oil and herb/nut ingredients, and while it provides little protein or fiber it contributes concentrated flavor so portion control matters; it also tends to be higher in salt compared with plain tomato sauces.
