Pav Bhaaji Pasta is an interesting fusion to the italian pasta with indian masala.
So how did this idea of Pav Bhaaji Pasta came, well this as again inspired by Chef Rakhi Vaswani where she added pav bhaaji masala on pasta and then I just made my own twists to here recipe where added pasta in pav bhaaji sauce . The outcome was so yummy, now both being my favorite I couldn't have asked for more. Infact while I was making this, the smell of pasta with pav bhaaji sauce made me try it before even it was ready. Now I do cheat sometimes and specially if its a fusion like Pav Bhaaji Pasta.
So you can make it creamier by adding cream instead of milk but I prefer low calorie recipe hence avoided but I am sure cream in this Pav Bhaaji Pasta will only make it heavenly. So lets get to the recipe of Pav Bhaaji Pasta and start cooking.
