Pasta in Makhani Sauce

 Pasta in makhani sauce is a very innovative recipe that uses the common "makhani sauce" as the base. The results are quite promising with the smooth sauce and the balance of flavours. I have used penne here as it holds on to the sauce quite easily, you can use other types of pasta like spaghetti, fusilli, or Fettuccine. Inspired by Indian flavours, this recipe brings the perfect creaminess to the pasta and also it's vegan too, so what are you waiting for, try out this amazing recipe and share it with your friends and family.
