For National Pasta Day this month, I’m making a spicy Indian Tikka Masala Pasta with
@forpastalovers . This is the best pasta you will ever have when you have no time to cook yet you want to have something delicious with a kick! I always liked recipes which are close to my heart.
This is one recipe that my mom made for me when I was a kid. It has a fusion traditional touch
to it. She used to make this with no cheese and I added some cheese to it. If you love pasta, and if you love Indian food, you need to try this recipe!
I’ve used Italpasta’s Artisan Penne Rigate pasta for this recipe! Their pastas are made in Canada with 100% Canadian wheat and the utmost care. This makes their pasta nutritious and delicious :). Their pastas have been made in Canada for over 30 years, offering different shapes and sizes.
