While there are endless sweet and savory flavor combinations out there, the pairing of honey and mustard is among the most popular. It shows up in a dressing for salads, a dip for finger foods, a spread on sandwiches--and here, as a way to enhance a weeknight pasta dinner with ingredients that are often on hand. In this dish, the savory tang of Dijon mustard and the floral sweetness of honey are added to a garlicky white wine cream sauce that perfectly coats every strand of pasta. For added zing and texture, top each serving of pasta with crushed honey mustard pretzels along with chopped fresh parsley and grated Parmesan, if you like. This recipe starts with browning chunks of chicken, but they can easily be left out to make it vegetarian-friendly. Save a bit of extra pasta water to help bring any leftovers back to their original creamy, saucy state.
