Creamy Dijon and Chicken linguine

November 13, 2012

I remember the first time I ever tasted Dijon mustard.

I was at my aunt’s house many many year ago ( I was probably about 7-8 years old) and she made me a sandwich. I mean, she asked me what I wanted in my sandwich and I said mustard. She brought me the sandwich and when I took my first bite, I said to myself: This is not mustard!

Tadaaaa! It was Dijon! As you can tell, I really disliked the taste at first.

Not anymore!

Now I even make pasta with Dijon ladies and gentlemen!

With fresh pasta, chives, lemon, mushrooms… YUM! (Pictures with button mushrooms)

Oh and Almonds and cream! (Only Karl had Almonds since I can’t eat them but he said it was very good!)

Have you ever made pasta with Dijon?

Enjoy!
