Pesto sauce, homemade

Homemade pesto is an Italian sauce made with basil and parmesan, used with pasta. The figures here describe a homemade recipe rather than a ready-made product. It mainly provides fat and protein, with calcium also a notable nutrient. Per 100g, it contains 46g of fat, including 12g of saturated fat, 19g of protein and 487mg of calcium.

Protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues, while calcium helps maintain bones and teeth. The fat and saturated fat content is worth noting for people watching their energy or saturated fat intake. Pesto also contributes salt, and recipes can vary.
