Chicken pasta recipe, Chicken masala pasta, Indian style chicken pasta recipe

Chicken pasta/ Chicken masala pasta is a colorful, spicy and flavorful pasta recipe prepared by tossing cooked pasta in desi style prepared aromatic masala. This chicken pasta recipe is very similar to the one that I posted long back with veggies, so it is very simple and easy as that of course with basic ingredients available in pantry. For the below recipe I used farfalle/ bow tie pasta variety as it looks very prettier according to me which can be replaced with any variety of your choice. Also I used chicken breast for this recipe as it cooks fast and can be consumed very easily, so I suggest using boneless chicken. So lets get to the making!

Beginner tip:

Always remember to add oil, salt along with water as this step prevents in sticking of pasta. Also add the pasta only when the water is boiling as this helps in cooking pasta fast eliminating wait time and soggy pasta. The last important step is to run the cooked pasta in cold water/ regular water preventing stickiness after draining the water with which it was cooked.chicken pasta
