Mostly real-food filled pasta with no artificial additives, but refined durum flour, added sugar and canola oil keep it from clean.

Why this verdict

Real whole-food filling: roasted butternut squash, ricotta, parmesan, eggs
No artificial colors, flavors or flavor enhancers; colors are natural annatto and turmeric
But refined durum flour and breadcrumbs are the carb base
Added sugar from evaporated cane syrup plus honey
Three cheeses push saturated fat up

Organic butternut squash (safe) — Real roasted vegetable, fiber and vitamin A. The best thing in here.
