Spicy masala pasta is a veggie loaded pasta recipe flavored with Indian spices. Take a break from regular dinner menus and try this flavorful pasta recipe next time and I am sure you will be amazed with its taste. This masala pasta is very easy to make and your pasta will be ready in no time. The best thing is these pasta’s are gluten-free!

The best thing about this recipe is I have used “Eatbanza” pasta variety, which is high in protein and fiber. They are also Gluten-Free, Soy-Free and Vegan friendly. Is’t it amazing ? And these pastas are made from chickpeas. It takes only half the time for cooking the pasta than the regular ones.

I like pasta so much but always afraid of calories and unhealthy in it but after using these chickpea pastas I am having my dinner guilt-free 🙂

This masala pasta will be perfect for dinner. If you have decided not to spend much time in kitchen then spend just 10 minutes to make this recipe. I have made the veggie version of the pasta; if you are a meat lover you can add chicken or any cooked meat instead of veggies.

Usually kids love pasta varieties and my kid regularly demands to make pasta. So I sneak as many veggies as I can and will make this masala pasta for her and she eats without any complaints. If you like Indian food then this pasta recipe will be in your dinner menu always.

I have used Instant pot to cook the veggies since it saves time. But you can also make this recipe on stove top. If you prefer stove top method, then cook the pasta according to the package instructions and then toss the pastas into the onion tomato masala and serve.
