Italian Recipes
7 high-protein italian recipes, sorted by protein content.
Italian cooking gives you protein density almost by accident — chicken parm, meatball soup, and one-pot chicken-and-bean skillets all land above 38g protein before you even optimize. This collection uses lighter techniques where it counts: baking chicken parmesan instead of frying, swapping heavy cream for protein-rich alternatives in alfredo sauce, and building bolognese with lentils for added fiber. Tuna pasta bowls hit 50g protein per serving. The one-pot tomato basil chicken and white bean skillet leads the collection at 69g. Italian seasoning — basil, oregano, garlic, and Parmigiano — carries flavor without calorie cost.
