Creamy pasta with a touch of mustard!


This is one of the simplest pastas ever! But really tasty and a real comfort food (just dont think of the calories!) - perfect for winter and if you're in a rush!

To make the cream sauce, all you do is saute some onion and fresh garlic in butter, and after a couple of mins, throw in the fresh mushroom and the fresh single cream (now you know what I mean about the fat content! So don't eat this all the time! - just when you want to treat yourself or really need that extra sense of comfort!) and let the sauce simmer. Now, what I think is the real star of the sauce is the wholegrain mustard. Flavour the sauce with this and season with salt and pepper. I love adding in the gourmet baby spinach into the sauce - do this at the end. Then toss in your al dente fettucine and add in some of the pasta water if you need to losen up the pasta.

Serve piping hot. Honestly, it won't take you more than 30mins, and you will be quite satisfied and comforted (worry about the gym tomorrow!!!).
