    This recipe calls for 5 teaspoons of salt.
    Whether it's sea salt or regular salt there are 2,350 mg of sodium in either.
    Of course most of the salt will go down the drain with the water the pasta is boiled in.
    Hard to say how much remains "attached" to the pasta.
    Regardless, it sounds delicious.

    Good
    I've made this, it's very tasty, hot or cold (especially with fresh herbs from my yard). I made it with about 1 tsp salt and it tastes fine. I think the sodium has to be a misprint, unless it's from the processed pasta? - 8/18/10

    I hope the sodium content is a mis-print. It is outrageously high. - 3/20/10
