About Spaghetti with clams
Spaghetti with clams, or "spaghetti alle vongole," is a classic Italian dish rooted in coastal cuisine, particularly from the Campania region. This flavorful meal combines al dente spaghetti with fresh clams, olive oil, garlic, white wine, parsley, and a touch of red pepper flakes. Known for its light yet savory taste, this dish offers a nutritious profile. Clams are an excellent source of lean protein, vitamin B12, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart and brain health. The olive oil provides healthy monounsaturated fats, while garlic adds antioxidants and potential immune-boosting properties. To keep it healthy, moderation with salt and oil is key, and it’s best to avoid heavy cream variations. A well-balanced dish, spaghetti with clams aligns with the Mediterranean diet, celebrated for its benefits in promoting cardiovascular wellness and overall health.
