Healthy Italian Recipe?
It seems italian recipes lean towards being unhealthy. They tend to be high in carbs, and in fat. It doesn’t need to be that way! For the crust you can use gluten-free, or a whole wheat flour. For filling try lower fat ricotta cheeses, or a completely customized filling that’s more to your liking!
