High Protein Creamy Fettucine

Pasta but make it macro friendly

Society teaches us that pasta = bad. Pasta = carbs and carbs = bad. If you're just eating pasta in a meal with nothing else, its not the wisest of choices. There's no protein source and it is essentially a big bowl of carbs. However, if we plan our meals smartly, we can enjoy a well-balanced pasta dish without having to feel any guilt!
