About Pasta with pesto and clams
Pasta with Pesto and Clams is a flavorful Italian-inspired dish that combines tender pasta with a vibrant basil pesto sauce and fresh, protein-rich clams. The pesto, traditionally made from basil, olive oil, garlic, pine nuts, and Parmesan cheese, adds a creamy texture and earthy, herbal notes, while the clams bring a subtle brininess and essential nutrients like iron, zinc, and B12. Olive oil in the pesto provides heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, and the clams offer lean protein to support muscle repair and development. While the dish delivers plenty of healthy components, it can be high in sodium due to the cheese and clams, and calorie-dense depending on the quantity of olive oil used. Opting for whole-grain pasta is a great way to boost fiber content and maintain steady energy levels. This dish is a satisfying and sophisticated choice for those seeking a balance of flavor and nutrition.
