It’s a quick and easy way to make a wonderful supper that my children eat! Thank you so much!
Yes, should work fine.
Can you use regular mustard if you don’t have mustard seasoning?
I used whole wheat noodles and found that the kids couldn’t taste the difference and really loved it. Thank you!!
I double the mustard and salt, otherwise great recipe!
I love it-marvelicious. Once again, a yummy classic with a twist!
