About Vongole
Vongole, or spaghetti alle vongole, is a classic Italian seafood dish originating from the coastal regions of Italy, particularly Campania. This flavorful recipe features al dente spaghetti tossed with small clams, garlic, olive oil, white wine, parsley, and a hint of chili for spice. The clams provide a lean source of protein and essential nutrients like iron, zinc, and vitamin B12, supporting energy production and immune health. Olive oil contributes heart-healthy fats, while garlic and parsley offer antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. However, the dish’s sodium content can be high due to the clams and added salt, so moderation is key. Often served with minimal sauce, Vongole is a lighter pasta option compared to cream-based dishes, making it a well-balanced choice for seafood lovers seeking fresh, Mediterranean flavors.
