• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons butter

For the Pasta:

• 12 ounces pasta of your choice (such as penne or fettuccine)

Instructions:

1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water. Drain the pasta and set aside, reserving some pasta water.

6. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the sauce for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken.
7. Once the sauce has thickened, stir in the heavy cream and butter until well combined. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce is creamy and velvety.
8. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the butter chicken sauce. Toss until the pasta is evenly coated in the sauce, adding a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
9. Serve the Indian-Inspired Butter Chicken Pasta hot, garnished with fresh cilantro leaves for an extra burst of flavor.
