What a spectacular collection of recipes! Thanks for including mine :)
These recipes for low carb Italian food sound so good. Most of the time when I think Italian, I picture pasta, but that doesn’t have to be the case. The Italian Wedding Soup, especially catches my eye. I wonder if we could have a buffet for my sister’s wedding out of low carb options like this. It wouldn’t hurt to look into our options at least.
Ciao Melissa,
I am so happy to be part of this great roundup!!
Grazie!

Thanks Vivica, I’m a big fan of your site!
Love this, thanks! Just a quick comment that you need a link to Maria’s Almond Roca Mocha Cake, which looks really good.
Thanks so much for catching that Eric, fixed it now!
Looks amazing! Thanks!
You’re welcome, let us know if you try any of them and how they come out!
Love, love, love these! The only one missing is Sooze’s Psylli Pasta! Definitely pinning this. Thanks!
Oooh, forgot about that one! Here’s a link to her psylli pasta recipe for those who want to try it!
Great post, you are on a roll!
Thanks Kalyn, can’t wait to try your zoodles with sausage and cherry tomatoes!
