If you are reading my recipes already, you might have noticed that I am not in the favor of cheeses. And I try to control it as for as I can. I do not prefer it not because of its taste, but because I am worried about the fat content it is loaded with.

I have enough fat and do not wish to add any more unknowingly. I need to underline the word 'wish', sigh! Everyone out in the world wishes for the same.

But are we making our wishes come true? Huh! We are just substituting fat with another fat..leave it.. it is another story to worry about.

I love to use Rotini pasta always. The spiral shape blends and can hold the sauces very well. Half of our work is done as a cook if the food looks great.

The spiral pasta does the cook's job perfectly of making the food look good. The perfectly cooked pasta with the creamy buttermilk sauce glides in the mouth. I'm sure everyone would be loving it.

I added Mariana sauce to add flavor and color to the recipe, but this is optional. I went with dried parsley as my refrigerator lacks fresh parsley. If you have fresh parsley, please substitute it with dried parsley.

Over low heat, cook until the sauce thickens and looks creamy. Keeping in a simmering flame is essential as buttermilk has the property of curdling when heated.

    We had some buttermilk to use up so we tried this recipe; had never used buttermilk in a pasta dish before. We loved it. We added a cooked link of hot Italian sausage to the sauce. Will make again.
