About Pasta with clams

Pasta with Clams, or "Spaghetti alle Vongole," is a classic dish from Italian coastal cuisine, particularly popular in regions like Campania. This dish combines tender clams, al dente pasta, olive oil, garlic, white wine, parsley, and a hint of chili flakes for subtle heat. It boasts a light yet savory flavor profile, with clams offering a rich source of lean protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential minerals like iron and vitamin B12. Olive oil provides heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, while garlic and parsley add antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. However, sodium levels can be higher due to the natural salinity of clams and any added salt, so moderation is key. Pairing this dish with whole-grain pasta can boost its fiber content for a more balanced meal.
