There is so much nutrition provided in this Creamy Butternut Squash Sauce. You might be thinking, “this is a pasta dish, so that means calories, carbs, and weight gain, right?” But actually, this is a pasta dish you can feel good about. I’d like you to retrain your brain. Rather than looking at the number of calories, I want you to ask what is making up those calories? Most of the time it is *refined*carbs or unhealthy fats driving that number high.
