Italian
Italian food is a diverse cuisine with modern and traditional elements - we have a wide choice of Italian recipes to try. From Pasta to Gnocchi to amazing Pizzas, find the perfect Italian recipe to make even the wisest Italian grandmother envious!
Healthy Carbonara
Carbonara is classic Italian comfort food and this is our healthier twist on it. It still has the essential eggs and bacon (which we grilled instead of fried), however we used reduced fat creme fraiche instead of cream or butter and used reduced fat cheese to save some calories. It still has all the flavour, but this Healthy Carbonara is a little bit lighter and ready in under 20 minutes.
