This was a great easy sauce! I made the sauce with a mixture of mozzerella and parmesean (since the mozzerella is so mild, I added extra--about a cup of cheese total) and also added 1/2 tsp of a dried "Italian Seasoning" spice mix to the mustard, salt, and pepper. A wonderful change to the usual pasta sause--and great for so many more uses! Thank you!
