Mustard sauce in pasta sounds intriguing,looks really inviting too !
Thanks, Usha. I was a bit skeptical myself but when the dish was done I realized I didn't make a bad choice. I had added Dijon mustard sauce to macaroni before and it turned out great too. The important thing with mustard is to use it in the right quantity because of the strong flavor it has.
Thanks a ton, dear. The pasta looks gorgeous. And I absolutely love the addition of mustard.
Your welcome, Vaishali! Looking forward to the event :)
Keep visiting!!
