Eating - Italian
Steer
away from white Italian bread and cheese-laden, creamy and excessively oily
dishes; and instead, go for the pasta, tomato sauces, vegetables and
beans. Many Italian restaurants offer
pasta dishes in half portions. Try
combining a half portion of pasta with a soup and salad for a filling and
satisfying meal. Also, try these:
1. Vegetable or bean-based soups like minestrone
and pasta fagioli
2. Steamed clams or mussels
2. Steamed clams or mussels
3. Pasta with tomato-based sauces (like
marinara, puttanesca, and arrobbiata); pasta with tomato-seafood sauces like
red clam sauce.
4. Broiled or grilled chicken and fish dishes.
5. Chicken cacciatore; chicken or veal piccata
and marsala (request a minimum of oil or butter be used).
6. Seafood stews like cioppino
7. Thin-crust pizza with lots of vegetable
toppings and part-skim mozzarella cheese
8. Poached fruits; cappuccino made with low-fat
milk.
