Q: Can I cook meals like lasagna, spaghetti, and pizza that are healthy? – Dave, Austin, TX
A: It's absolutely possible to make healthy Italian-style dishes. When choosing the base for a pasta recipe, opt for whole wheat noodles or whole wheat crusts. Making as much of this from scratch as possible can also be a huge calorie saver. A simple option is to do homemade meatballs. Use organic lean ground beef and load up on tons of vegetables like mushrooms, tomatoes, garlic, and bell peppers to add nutritional value—and flavor—to your meals.
