By Lucy Fast

When you think of Italian food, your imagination surely conjures images of pizza, melted cheeses, and plates of spaghetti, ravioli, linguini, tortellini, fettuccine, ziti, lasagnas—mamma mia! The list goes on and we haven’t even mentioned dessert yet.  How on earth can Italian food be Paleo-friendly?

Well “Italian Paleo: The Paleo Italian Cookbook with Gluten Free Recipes for Authentic Italian Cooking Just Like Nonna Used to Make” has come to the rescue!

When you take a second to look beyond the obvious selections from the local pizzeria, there are actually quite a few dishes that are not only traditional Italian fare, but also serve up well on the Paleo plate.

In fact, the Italians are famous for fashioning completely delectable meals suited for kings and queens out of just a few simple ingredients—usually grown locally and making use of the entire vegetable or animal—just look at the famous fried squash blossoms, for example.
