Fettuccine Bombay
East-meets-West pasta dish with fettuccine in a curry-inspired cream sauce, often including chicken or shrimp. Warm spices create a unique twist.
Ingredients
- 1 (16 ounce) package fettuccine 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds 1 large onion, chopped 4 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into cubes
- 2 tablespoons curry powder, divided
- 1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
Directions
- Bring a large pot of lightly-salted water to a rolling boil over high heat; add the fettuccine and return to a boil. Cook uncovered until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes; drain.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Fry the cumin seeds in the hot oil until they begin to pop, 2 to 3 minutes. Cook and stir the onion and garlic in the oil until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken and continue cooking until the chicken is cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Season with 1 tablespoon curry powder; cook and stir another 3 to 4 minutes.
- Pour the diced tomatoes over the mixture and reduce heat to low. Stir in the tomato paste and remaining 1 tablespoon curry powder. Simmer 15 minutes.
- Stir the cooked pasta into the sauce to coat. Simmer 2 to 5 minutes, until pasta is reheated.
