A look at some recipes reveals one fitness fact straightaway—this is a dieting mine field. With plenty of butter, cream, and cheese, it’s easy to see that there are some serious calorie issues.

This is definitely one of those recipes you have to save for a free meal. As yummy as it is, you won’t be reducing significant fat from your diet if you indulge too much. Here are a couple hints to make your indulgence worthwhile.

Making it homemade gives you a bit more control over calories and fat. Besides, if you like extra cheese, you can make sure it’s included.
Use the highest quality products.
Hey, if you’re going to indulge, at least make it worthwhile Skip the store-brand butter. Go for the good stuff. I use exclusively for my butter of choice. It has a clean taste that is a bit higher in fat, making it sinfully delicious.
Go for the good Parmesan.
Good Italian cooking demands a good Parmesan. Splurge on a wedge of a good, aged Parmesan and enjoy!
