Today I share with you this pasta with healthy roasted pumpkin sauce. It is incredibly creamy ¡without butter fats!
A few months for my WEDDING I need eat as healthy as possible. So, following my firm objective from now on (and not just for the wedding, also to have a balanced diet) I decided to cut down all fats, fried foods, pastries and sweets as I can. With that I don’t mean that occasionally I eat a piece of cake, a dish of french fries or a bollycao, I’m only saying that since this year starts (new year, new life) instead of frying I’m baking & instead of buying sweets (pastries, cakes and desserts) I cook it at home to control the amount of sugar
