About Spaghetti and clams

Spaghetti and Clams is a classic Italian dish that beautifully combines simplicity with bold flavors. It features al dente spaghetti tossed with fresh clams, garlic, olive oil, white wine, parsley, and a touch of red pepper flakes for subtle heat. A hallmark of coastal Italian cuisine, this seafood pasta is light yet satisfying, highlighting the natural brininess of the clams. Nutritionally, this dish is a good source of lean protein from the clams and heart-healthy fats from olive oil. It provides antioxidants from garlic and parsley while being relatively low in saturated fats. However, it can be high in sodium due to the clams and additional seasoning, and its carbohydrate content may be significant depending on portion size. Pairing it with a fresh vegetable side can balance the meal and boost fiber intake, making it a wholesome option for seafood lovers.
