If so my life would have been much better. I am amazed how our mood and feelings change each day. Yesterday didn&#8217;t turn out to be a great day for me, even after trying hard to make it look great. And my frustration hormones hiked to its highest level. After reaching home, I walked straight into my kitchen, the only place where I find myself fitting in so well these days.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">That whole day I wasn&#8217;t sure of anything but was so sure about what to make for dessert that evening. The mere thought of something sweet and creamy encouraged my taste buds and senses to wake up from its slumber.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I had been haunted by the thought of making pasta pudding for the past few days. Honestly, I didn&#8217;t google it nor did I come across in any cookbook. It just hit my mind for no reason and it sounded too good to me. Last night was the absolute right time for me to be creative in my kitchen.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Considering my husband&#8217;s gluten intolerance, I made it with 100% corn pasta. Last weekend, I had bought a box of saffron, my favorite spice. I literally love anything that has a hint of saffron in it. I get mesmerized over the aroma and the flavor of saffron.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">After indulging in this dessert, I was found grateful to myself for making this.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Saffron Pasta Pudding:<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7197\" title=\"saffron pasta pudding\" alt=\"\"
