Curried Chicken Farfalle Pasta & Cyber Monday

November 26, 2012 by Nancy Lopez-McHugh 68 Comments

Curried Chicken Farfalle Pasta Recipe by Spicie Foodie

Have you ever met anyone who didn’t like pasta? I haven’t. In fact it seems like everyone really loves it. The evidence is all around my neighborhood with it’s 5 Italian restaurants all within walking distance of each other. That’s crazy but at the same time a good thing as each has a specialty that I like and can only get there.

Though originally from Italy, pasta has become an international staple. The varieties are vast as are the ingredients used both to make and cook with it. One of the great things about it is that how quick and easy it is to prepare. Let’s not forget to mention that it can also become luxuries enough for any occasion. We can easily adjust to fit our personal tastes. It appears that in every country where pasta is found local ingredients and flavors are incorporated to make it their own.

Curried Chicken Farfalle Pasta Recipe by Spicie Foodie

This recipe is a fusion of creamy western style Farfalle pasta and Indian curry spice. Start with a small amount of curry powder then gradually adjust to your personal taste. We love it because it is creamy and a tad spicy, plus a completely different way of eating pasta.

Today is Cyber Monday which means many online business are running bargain deals on some of their products. One such company is Amazon. You may have noticed their banners here on Spicie Foodie, like many food bloggers I too am an affiliate.

    Great looking pasta dish! Farfalle is one of my favorite shapes – so many lovely edges. I like curry and I like chicken and often combine them. But I don’t think I’ve ever made a curried pasta. I can’t imagine why not – what a great idea! Good stuff – thanks.

    Oh pasta and curry! I love pasta and I love curries, I never thought to mix the two together but it sounds right. Plain boiled pasta needs a condiment to be good and curries are spicy and have an intense flavour!! Inspiring fusion dish. (Good luck with Amazon deals! It is difficult to support the blog online…I’m starting supper clubs…fingers cross!)

    I certainly haven’t met anyone, lol. I haven’t got to the point of shopping yet, just glad to be catching up on some reading. I wish I could wave my magic wand and get all the shopping done, it really is my least favorite part of the holidays. Good idea with the Amazon links though. Hope all is well with you, miss stopping by here and I’m loving all the new snaps.

    I stumbled upon this recipe tonight when I had a craving for curry, but no coconut milk. This was delicious! I added some crushed red pepper to spice it up. As a fellow expat, I LOVE you blog. So many recipes contain a bunch of American processed food that you can’t buy anywhere else. Thank you for not including cream of mushroom soup (at least I haven’t seen it…) in any of your recipes! I can’t wait to try something else!
