Ingredients
-
8 ounces whole-wheat spaghetti (see Tip)
-
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
-
½ cup chopped onion
-
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
-
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
-
1 (10 ounce) can whole clams
-
¼ cup dry white wine
-
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
-
1 tablespoon butter
-
⅛ teaspoon salt
-
4 cups baby arugula
-
Grated Parmesan cheese (Optional)
Directions
-
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain.
-
Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until starting to soften, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and crushed red pepper and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add clams and their juice, wine, lemon zest and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer. Adjust heat to maintain a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half, 6 to 8 minutes.
-
Stir in butter and salt. Add the hot pasta and toss to coat. Add arugula and toss until slightly wilted, about 1 minute. Serve with Parmesan, if desired.
Tip
Using whole-wheat gives you double the fiber of regular pasta for a more filling meal. Only 5% of the U.S. population gets the daily recommended 25 to 30 grams. This simple swap is an easy way to inch closer to that goal.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
