Pasta with Healthier Clam Sauce
4 steps
Prep:10minCook:30min
This simple clam sauce is lower in fat and carbs than most, while being a good source of protein and vitamin B12. It's typically spooned over pasta, but it also goes well with chips, on a tortilla, or on top of a salad. It can be served both warm and cold, and takes only a few minutes to prepare
