Tomato Masala Pasta with Chicken
Both chicken tikka masala and butter chicken are relatively modern inventions, rising to popularity in the second half of the 20th century. Inspired by their warmly spiced, creamy-rich flavors, this low-effort dish cooks pasta directly in a buttery, tomato-based sauce, thickening the mixture and infusing the noodles with bold flavor.

Good and easy. - use the alts!
I’ve made this a few times now. Highly recommend using both garlic and ginger. Also, definitely garnish with cilantro and rather than just serving with lime wedges, squeeze half a lime into the dish and stir to incorporate before serving.

Simple and Tasty
My family enjoyed this one-pot dish. I used 1 1/2 pounds of chicken since that's what I had on hand, and it seemed like a good amount. Definitely garnish with cilantro -- makes a wonderful contrast to the other flavors.
