About Spaghetti with seafood in a tomato sauce

Spaghetti with seafood in a tomato sauce is a classic dish originating from Italian coastal cuisine. This flavorful pasta combines al dente spaghetti with a medley of fresh seafood like shrimp, mussels, squid, or clams, all simmered in a rich tomato-based sauce seasoned with garlic, olive oil, and herbs such as basil and parsley. The dish is high in protein from the seafood, which is also a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, beneficial for heart health. The tomato sauce provides antioxidants like lycopene, which supports cellular health. Olive oil adds healthy fats, and the absence of heavy cream or butter makes it a lighter pasta option. However, the dish can be high in sodium depending on preparation, so mindful seasoning is recommended. Paired with a side salad, it’s a nutritious and satisfying meal that aligns with the Mediterranean diet principles.
