Clam sauce is a flavorful seafood-based condiment traditionally found in Italian cuisine. It typically consists of fresh or canned clams, olive oil, garlic, white wine, and parsley, often enhanced with red pepper flakes or lemon for added zest. There are two common variations: white clam sauce, which has a lighter, broth-like consistency, and red clam sauce, made with the addition of tomatoes. Clams are rich in protein, vitamins like B12, and minerals such as iron and selenium, making them a nutritious component of the sauce. Olive oil provides healthy fats, while garlic contributes antioxidants. However, salt content can be high, and red clam sauce may carry extra calories due to added tomatoes or sugar. Typically served over pasta, it’s both a hearty and nutrient-packed dish when consumed in moderation.
