Nutritional values

Clams have three unbeatable advantages: Their delicious meat is low in fat and calories, but bursting with protein and providing a thick portion of iodine - the trace element is in short supply and indispensable for a well-functioning thyroid gland.

Wholemeal pasta provides us with a good deal of fibre - this is good for digestion and is filling for a long time.

Instead of clams, heart clams or mussels also fit well. It is important - as always with mussels - to sort out specimens that are already open before cooking and those that are still closed after cooking.
