About Spaghetti with clams and tomatoes
Spaghetti with clams and tomatoes is a classic Italian dish that hails from coastal regions, where fresh seafood is central to the cuisine. This flavorful dish combines al dente spaghetti with tender clams, sweet cherry tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, and fresh herbs like parsley. It is often lightly spiced with red pepper flakes for a subtle kick. Rich in lean protein from the clams, it also provides essential vitamins and minerals like iron, vitamin B12, and omega-3 fatty acids, which support brain and heart health. The olive oil contributes healthy fats, while the tomatoes are a source of antioxidants, particularly lycopene. However, the dish can be high in sodium, especially if prepared with added salt or preserved ingredients, so moderation is key. Pairing it with a fresh salad creates a balanced, nutrient-rich meal that showcases the simplicity and healthfulness of Mediterranean cuisine.
