Clams Alfredo Florentine Rotini, Quick and Light

This is great for using the stems of the broccoli, if you slice them thin they will cook quickly as you saute them, but they'll still have a bit of 'bite' to them in the dish, which adds a nice contrast of texture. Use whole wheat rotini or penne because they will hold the sauce well and make it seem like more alfredo sauce with each bite. This dish is very high in iron and vitamin C, which makes the iron more bioavailable. If you want the sauce to extend even further, and add soy protein try blending some very soft tofu into it and add a bit more milk, as needed to get the desired consistency.
