Pasta Butter Masala - Indian Style Pasta Recipes

pasta butter masala - easy pasta recipe in Indian style

pasta butter masala - pasta cooked in butter masala base gravy and this is low fat version.paneer butter masala is the favorite paneer recipe and you can check the recipe which is low fat version which i already posted here.

I got this recipe from sis blog,there she posted this recipe and i thought this is the wonderful idea to make a pasta recipe without making the same tomato based sauce.I made the recipe with some alterations to my taste and am sure this will taste the same as original one but little spicier side.

On a rainy day,i want something apart from usual lunch and i want simple and also a spicy light meal.So i searched the pantry and i saw a packet full of elbow pasta and searched for the recipe.Suddenly i thought a recipe which i saw from her blog with butter masala base.Without any second thought,i started to prepare the recipe but made in different method.I dont want the aroma of ginger garlic paste in the recipe,so i saute it along with tomato and onion and then made the puree from that.I did not added any whole spices in the recipe,just added garam masala for making it spicy and aromatic.I added kashmiri red chilli powder for less heat in the recipe.You can use regular red chilli powder in the recipe if you want more spiciness.

For making the sauce creamier,i added whole milk and i proceeded the recipe as it is.The sauce must not be thick ,otherwise it will not coat the entire quantity of pasta which we prepared.this recipe is a must try recipe those who want an alternate for usual pasta recipe.I served this recipe as a evening snack for V as this is spicy and like finger food.

I already posted paneer pasta which has pav bhaji masala in it and made a very quick version with scrambled paneer there.I recommend that recipe too and it is very spicy at its end and it is perfect for monsoon and winter.Another pasta recipe which is Indian style masala pasta which is made with or without veggies.The recipe is made like we make poriyal or sabzi with little pinch of garam masala in it.
