Mustard is one key ingredient in this recipe, and it’s incredible! The flavor it adds to the pasta is one you need to try (I’d definitely recommend adding it to your bucket list!).

Beets Pasta (Gluten Free)
These years more and more people are finding out that they can’t eat gluten, and well, if you’re already used to eating all the delicious things that have gluten - like all the pasta recipes above - it might get a bit hard to follow the restriction.
However:
Given the growth of this restriction, there are now so many recipes that are the perfect substitution for anything you want! This pasta with beets pesto is just one of the many examples we could give!
Cauliflower Alfredo + Bacon (Gluten and Dairy Free)
In addition to being gluten-free, many people also need to follow a dairy-free diet. For those cases, we have recipes such as this cauliflower alfredo fettuccine with bacon that is simply incredible! Even people who can eat it all should give this a try!
