My older son is at college and when he comes home on weekends all he wants is this Chicken Pasta, you would swear it’s the only thing I could cook. This Indian Fusion Chicken Pasta Recipe is so simple, you can have a meal on your table in less than 30 minutes. It’s comforting, spicy and oh so yummy! I love spicing up my chicken before I add them to pasta. It makes it all the more delicious. I’ve tried making it with cajun spice, garlic and chilli, hot chilli sauce and many more spicy variations. Everyone needs a bit of spice in their lives every once in a while. What better combination than some spice and pasta together. If you are daring enough you can even add a bit of extra chilli when marinating your chicken with the spices for this recipe. This pasta is a combination of indian spices with a bechamel sauce…just a fancy name for white sauce. A good sprinkling of parmesan cheese and it’s heaven in a bowl. Making a white/bechamel sauce can be intimidating at first, I was scared to make one when I was younger too. Mainly because I thought I would have a lumpy sauce. Yes I did have lumpy sauce in my early days of cooking. However, I quickly figured the secret to getting a smooth sauce. My trusted old whisk, it works like magic. Use a whisk to stir your sauce and you will never have lumpy sauce again. As we all know Chicken Breasts are also tricky to cook, it can overcook very easily and the it becomes all chewy. Nobody wants that as it just ruins a good dish. You have to flash fry your chicken breasts very quickly and remove from the heat. If it’s not fully cooked don’t stress, it will cook further in the sauce. My kids love a saucy dish so I add a little less pasta to this Indian Fusion Chicken Pasta Recipe just so they can enjoy that sauciness. You can add more pasta if you wish. When boiling your pasta you need to pop your pasta into a pot of boiling water, add some salt and it’s good to go. You can also reserve some of the pasta water to add to the sauce. That’s the liquid gold. It adds that beautiful silky richness to your pasta dish. It can also be used to thin the sauce when serving. I also don’t add oil to my pasta as I find that the sauce adheres to the pasta better without the oil.
I simply love pasta dishes. Cooking with pasta is so versatile and it’s my absolute go to dish when I’m lost for dinner ideas. My kids could literally live on pasta if they had their way. There’s something just so comforting about pasta so I guess it’s why they love it so much. For this recipe I used Penne pasta but you can use whatever pasta you prefer. If you have the time you can go ahead and make your own pasta too. I did attempt making pasta a couple of times but I stick to the convenient way. Store bought pasta. If you give this dish a try please drop me a comment and a star rating, it is always appreciated.
