  The effect of strong magnetic fields on the properties of the pasta
structures is calculated within a Thomas Fermi approach using relativistic mean
field models to modulate stellar matter. It is shown how quantities such as the
size of the clusters and Wigner-Seitz cells, the surface tension and the
transition between configurations are affected. It is expected that these
effects may give rise to large stresses in the pasta phase if the local
magnetic field suffers fluctuations.
