It’s no surprise this mustard and sausage pasta is of of my cool-weather go-tos. The rich elegance of a restaurant-style cream sauce, but easy enough for a weeknight.

This pasta is made for a cool evening by the fire with a glass of  wine… and then s’mores for dessert. Now I’m just dreaming. I tend to gravitate to rich and creamy sauces rather than tomato based sauces. 

The addition of mustard and red pepper flakes adds a zesty kick that cuts the richness of the sauce. Then topped with loads of fresh basil, this checks all the boxes to be categorized as a perfect meal in my book. 

This is another recipe my mom made frequently while I was growing up. Am I allowed to say this one is also my favorite? Cause I mean it.
