Italy's Lighter Side: Healthy Italian Favorites
There's more to Italian cuisine than cheesy pasta dishes and carb-filled pizza. Eat well and eat Italian with this light and satisfying menu.
If your New Year's resolution was to eat healthier, then look no further than Italian cuisine. You're probably thinking, I didn't know fettuccine Alfredo was healthy! Well, it's not. Sure, there are some regional dishes cloaked in cheesy sauces, but most Italians eat a low-fat Mediterranean diet, which includes a variety of fruits, vegetables, beans, and lean proteins. Portions are also smaller, not like the ones you see at the chain restaurants in the U.S. For your next Italian feast, skip the Caesar salad, oversized platter of spaghetti with meatballs, and the cannoli. Instead, eat well with recipes from this light yet satisfying menu — your waistline will say grazie!
