Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Pasta (Penne, Fusilli, or Macaroni), boiled
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 3 slices Cheese
  • 2 tbsp Pizza Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Mayonnaise Eggless
  • 1 tbsp Tomato Ketchup
  • ⅓ cup Fresh Cream
  • 1 tbsp Maggie Masala 1 pack
  • 1 tsp Red Chilli Powder Adjust for heat
  • 1 tsp Chilli flakes
  • ¼ cup Coriander finely chopped
  • Extra Grated Cheese For more cheesy taste

Instructions
 

  • Boiling the Pasta (Pre-Step)

    - Boil water with a generous amount of salt. Add your 2 cups of raw pasta.
    - Cook until Al Dente (soft but with a slight bite).
    - Crucial: Drain the pasta and toss it with 1 tsp oil so it doesn't stick together while we make the sauce.

  • Creating the Cheesy Base

    - Heat a wide pan or wok on low flame.
    - Add 2 tbsp Butter. As it melts, add the Cheese Slices.
    - Why Low Heat? We don't want the butter to burn or the cheese to separate. Let them melt together into a gooey mix.

  • The "Sauce Dump"

    - This is the easiest part. Into the buttery cheese mix, add Pizza Sauce, Mayonnaise, Ketchup, and Fresh Cream.
    - Stir continuously with a whisk or spatula. You will see the sauce turning a beautiful creamy orange (sunset color).
    - Add the Maggie Masala and Red Chilli Powder.
    - Cook: Let this sauce bubble on low heat for about 3-5 minutes. The fats will release slightly, and the spices will cook through so they don't taste raw.

  • Bringing it Together

    - Add the Chilli Flakes and half of the fresh Coriander into the sauce.
    - Now, toss in your Boiled Pasta.
    - Mix: Gently fold the pasta into the sauce. Ensure every single piece is coated in that orange creamy goodness.

  • Simmer & Absorb

    - Let the pasta cook in the sauce on low heat for another 5 minutes (The recipe says 8-10, but keep an eye on it—if your pasta was already soft, 5 minutes is enough to absorb the flavor without becoming mushy).
    - Texture Cue: The sauce should coat the spoon and the pasta; it shouldn't be runny.

  • Garnish & Serve

    - Turn off the flame.
    - Garnish with the remaining fresh coriander and a little extra grated cheese if you are feeling indulgent.
    - Serve hot immediately! (Creamy pasta tends to dry up if left sitting, so dig in while it's steamy).
