Low Carb Italian Recipes

Italy’s love affair with carbs is known the world over, but our Italian low carb ideas go beyond the world of pizza and pasta!

A chunky lentil soup packed full of veggies is the perfect winter warmer, and if you’re looking for weeknight one-pots, Roman-style chicken is perfect for the whole family. Light bites include an asparagus, artichoke and mushroom saute with tarragon vinaigrette, and a sweet and savoury beef salad with chicory, pear and Parmigiano Reggiano. Italian low carb dishes don’t come any more traditional than a garlic and citrus chicken with grilled mixed vegetables, and don’t forget to leave room for mascarpone mousse in white chocolate cups!

Our low carb Italian recipes are a treasure trove of tantalising tastes.
