What to order at an Italian restaurant

Tracking tip: Search for a specific restaurant’s menu item first; if it’s not in the database, track a similar dish from a different restaurant.

1. Top basic pastas with 1 tbs grated parmesan and red chilli flakes to add extra flavour for just 1 Point.
   
   

2. Add grilled chicken breast, prawns, or non-starchy veggies to any pasta to grow your 1-cup portion for 0 extra Points—or get veggies in place of a pasta side.
   
   

3. If given a choice, go with hollow pasta like penne; a serving appears larger compared to solid pasta and saves 1 Points value per cup.
   
   

4. Love creamy pasta? Vodka sauce—tomato-based sauce with cream, butter, and vodka—is only 5 Points per ½ cup versus carbonara’s 10.
   
   

5. When ordering chicken dishes (parmigiana, marsala, piccata), ask for grilled chicken in place of the standard crumbed and fried.
