Indian Style Pasta

Curry and pasta may not sound like it goes together. It’s certainly not traditional – but I see no reason why that should be a problem! As a Brit, things like curry on chips are pretty common, so why not pasta? And it works really well.

I used chickpeas in this one, but sometimes I add peas, or other beans if I like. You could also add spinach if you wanted to make it greener!

The sauce is all made in one pot so there’s not too much hassle there, and you can easily change the spiciness by adding more chilli or not, if you like.
