Red Sauce Pasta / Mayo Saucy Pasta

Red Sauce Pasta

Red Sauce Pasta or Saucy Mayo Pasta has a creamy texture , which has delicious taste and is delectable too .Though usually pasta is , specially the red one is made with tomato base , but as my hubby is not too fond of tomato based gravies , I twisted this Red Sauce Pasta recipe by making white sauce and then adding mayo sauce mixture of my Chicken Burger Recipe.

As this was an experiment , I had the remaining sauce mixture of my Chicken Burger Recipe, which I wanted to utilize in any of my recipe. So I thought to add to the pasta and make a different taste altogether. Trust me the taste turned out to be so delicious , that my daughter insisted to make this version when ever Pasta is being made. Here is my Red Sauce Pasta recipe.
