Mango Madness: Get respite from the summer with homemade reginette pasta in mango-mascarpone sauce

Oh My Foodness Vol 2: Homemade Reginette in Mango-Mascarpone emulsion, with glazed Alphonso bite

The best thing about Indian summers undoubtedly is nothing but indulging in the king of fruits –the mango. While some like to eat this delicious fruit raw, there are some who’d add a garnish of mangoes in anything they consume till the season lasts. Because mango-based desserts are too mainstream, cook up savoury delight with this scrumptious fusion of mangoes and pasta that is sure to tickle your tastebuds on the latest episode of Oh My Foodness.
