For a healthy and satisfying twist on Italian food, make sure you add veggies to the plate. Vegetables taste great and provide color. Your meat and fish will taste better with this side.

Fried Florets: Fried cauliflower florets are a tasty treat that can be served as an appetizer with a ranch dipping sauce or as a side to a grilled fish or chicken entree. They also make a great snack for football games or a family movie night. Serve immediately while breading is still fresh.

Rich Baked Carrots: This is a terrific side dish to any Italian meal. Makes 4-6 side dish helpings.

Tuscan Style Beans: These tender slowly cooked Tuscan style beans are great alone, over Italian bread or in soup!

Prosciutto Zucchini: Serve this as a side to pasta.

Naturally Sweet Roasted Asparagus: This naturally sweet roasted asparagus is the perfect side dish when you are roasting meat. You can bake the asparagus in the oven while your meat rests. Its quick and easy!

Cauliflower Potatoes: I love the crispiness of this dish!
