“Life is a combination of magic and pasta.” – Federico Fellini.

Very few women I know today lead simple lives. Most of us are juggling multiple roles with work, family and friends, let alone all the work-out regimes and beauty routines. Whenever I catch up with my girlfriends and ask how they’re doing, the most common response is not “Fine, thanks!” but “Busy, really busy.”

Life gets busy, but that doesn’t mean we need to compromise the taste of our meal as a result! This rich and decadent Dijon cream sauce is very easy to make and it pairs well with chicken, pork and even fish and can be used to create many other great dishes. Exactly what we need for a busy mid-week dinner!

Ingredients:

• 200 gram linguine, cooked
• 2 boneless chicken cutlets (sliced and seasoned with salt & pepper)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 small onion (sliced)
• 1/2 cup of white wine
• 1 cups whipping cream
• 2 tbsp whole-grain Dijon mustard
