Hi Toni! There won’t be a huge difference without the mustard powder, but the tomato paste thickens the sauce and adds depth of flavor. You can use marinara, it just won’t have quite the same effect as it’s not as thick/concentrated.

I don’t have any mustard powder, will there be a huge difference without it? I also don’t have tomato paste, would marinara work?

BIG hit in the house. I had to sub in a can diced tomatoe’s due to not having enough cherry toms.

I have made this twice in the last two weeks.  Big hit with my husband!  Thank you for sharing this delicious recipe.

Thanks so much for the great comments Suzanne, I’m so happy you liked it! This one is a big hit in my house. I love that you sauteed mushrooms and zucchini in the garlic, genius!💖

Okay, this is an insanely good sauce. I had mushrooms and zucchini to use, so I sautéed them with the garlic. The flavor was amazing and this is a new fave for sure!!
