Italian Recipes (Highest Rated)

From weeknight cooking on Food Network

Don't let the calories scare you off... This is a super-thick / meal-y sauce! Don't add any salt - the canned sauce needs no additional sodium, and you'll get flavour from the Italian Seasoning! :) [Created 2009-11-14.]

My rendition of classic chicken cacciatore, designed for us bariatric patients and people who want a more reasonable dish. Yes, there is olive oil in it, but its a healthier oil and the flavor that it brings to the dish cant be duplicated otherwise. Enjoy!

This is pizza I make that is lower in calories than other pizza and satisfies my craving for it.

I plant basil every year just so I can make pesto and have enough to freeze it (3 plants is all it takes). The hardest part is washing the basi leaves. Once made, I quickly put it into snack size plastic bags. The only thing about pesto is that it turns brown when exposed to air, so close the bags quickly and keep the remaining pesto covered with plastic wrap while filling the bags.
