Eating out the guilt-free way
Italian food
 Italian foods often bring to mind rich dishes made with plenty of
butter, cheese and cream.
Appetizers
Marinated calamari, mushrooms, and tender artichoke hearts are a few
of the delicious appetizers offered, along with classic soups like
minestrone, and pasta e fagioli (pasta and bean).
Main Dishes
 Think
about pasta, with marinara, red or white clam, or a tomato based sauce, or
perhaps a primavera dish, which include seasonal fresh vegetables as a
main course.
Trendy eateries are now serving wood grilled pizzas, often topped
with vegetables and low-fat cheese, making pizza one of the best bets
in an Italian restaurant.
Stay away from menu items labeled Alfredo, saltimbocca with
prosciutto, parmigiana, or sauces made with cream. They imply high fat
from dairy products and high sodium content.
Lasagna, cannelloni, ravioli, and manicotti dishes probably aren't
your best choices.
