About Pasta and seafood

Pasta and seafood is a classic combination rooted in Mediterranean and Italian cuisine, blending the richness of pasta with the fresh, savory flavors of ocean ingredients. Typically made with varieties like spaghetti, linguine, or fettuccine, the dish often incorporates shrimp, mussels, clams, or squid, seasoned with garlic, olive oil, tomatoes, wine, and herbs. Nutritionally, seafood is an excellent source of lean protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins like B12 and D. Pairing it with whole-grain pasta can boost fiber content and support heart health, while adding antioxidant-rich vegetables like spinach or cherry tomatoes enhances its nutritional profile. However, creamy or buttery sauces may increase fat and calorie counts, making moderation key for balanced eating. This flavorful dish celebrates wholesome ingredients while offering flexibility to adapt to personal dietary needs.
