Chicken Cacciatore
There are a ton of Italian recipes that you can make using chicken, but we’re willing to bet that this one is the healthiest! Chicken pairs handsomely with mushrooms, peppers, onions and garlic to ensure that you’re getting the best food groups on your dinner table. There is a bit of prep involved (mainly around cooking the chicken) but the taste and result is worth it all!
Minestrone Soup
You wouldn’t expect a thick Italian soup to be among the healthy recipes that you can make, but look no further than minestrone soup! This recipe comes exclusively from Jamie Oliver and incorporates all of the vegetables that you can find that are in season. You can also add some pasta for a bit of carbohydrates to satisfy your stomach. If you’re the kind of person that enjoys a good soup, you might as well make it good for you!
Acquacotta
Did you expect another soup to be a healthy alternative? This Tuscan specialty quite literally translates to “cooked water”, but the ingredient profile shows that it’s far more than that. Celery, carrots, garlic, onions, and thyme all combine to make this recipe a smorgasbord of healthy options. Eating soup like this can be good for losing weight, so don’t be afraid to make a few servings per cook!
