The Italian Christmas lunch begins with platters of antipasti. Grazia Soncini’s delicious Lemon marinated anchovies and Andrea Migliaccio’s Potato Zeppoline are two delicious examples of Italian antipasti recipes found in this collection, while Marco Stabile’s luxurious Beef tartare with truffle caviar would make a fantastic Christmas starter.
Whether you're on the keto diet or just watching what you eat, these healthy Italian recipes are low in carbs but full of old-world flavor. What I love about these meatballs is that they can be served as an appetizer right out of the slow cooker, or alongside your favorite pasta. They also make a delicious sandwich.
From healthy dinners to light lunches and starters, there are plenty of recipe ideas here fit for a low carb diet. Substituting traditional carbohydrates for low carb alternatives has become an increasingly popular trick in recent years, with courgetti, cauliflower rice and sweet potato noodles among the most well known swaps.
You don’t have to be Italian or Italian-American to have your own Christmas Eve dinner.
