Key ingredients
Carne seca, kabocha squash, heavy cream, butter, onion, garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, optional cheese topping (e.g., mozzarella, Parmesan).
If you order it anyway
Confirm puree is made with cabotiá squash and not mixed with higher-carb vegetables or starches. Ensure no sugar in carne seca preparation or puree.
Watch out for
Abóbora cabotiá has more carbs than cauliflower, so portion control is key. Check for hidden sugars in carne seca or puree. Some recipes may add wheat flour to thicken.
