If you're looking for an easy family dinner that everyone will happily tuck into, this One Pan Butter Chicken Pasta Bake is a recipe you'll want to save.
It combines everything you love about a rich, creamy Butter Chicken curry with a cheesy pasta bake, creating the ultimate comfort food that's ready in around 45 minutes.
Made using our Matt Cooper Bites Butter Chicken Curry Kit, this recipe couldn't be simpler. Tender pieces of chicken are cooked in a mild, creamy butter chicken sauce before the pasta is added straight to the pan to cook in all that flavour.
Finish it with plenty of melted cheese and a sprinkle of our Masala Chips Seasoning for an extra burst of flavour, then bake until golden and bubbling.
Why You'll Love This Butter Chicken Pasta Bake
This recipe has quickly become one of our favourite midweek dinners, and it's easy to see why.
The butter chicken sauce is rich, creamy and full of flavour without being overly spicy, making it perfect for the whole family. It's mild enough for children to enjoy while still delivering that unmistakable curry house flavour adults love.
Because the pasta cooks directly in the sauce, it absorbs all those delicious butter chicken flavours as it softens, creating a dish that's packed with flavour in every bite.
Perfect For Family Dinners
Finding meals that both adults and children enjoy can be a challenge, but this recipe is one that usually disappears quickly.
The creamy butter chicken sauce keeps the spice level gentle, while the melted cheese makes it even more comforting. If you're looking to introduce your children to Indian-inspired food, this is a great place to start.
It's also brilliant for batch cooking, with leftovers reheating beautifully the next day.
One Pan, Big Flavour
Traditional butter chicken recipes often involve long ingredient lists and countless spices. Our Matt Cooper Bites Butter Chicken Curry Kit takes care of all the hard work for you.
Simply add the spice blend, chicken, passata and stock, then let the pasta cook directly in the sauce. Finish with cream cheese for extra richness and a generous layer of cheese before baking until golden and bubbling.
The result is a creamy Butter Chicken Pasta Bake that's comforting, family friendly and guaranteed to become a regular on your dinner menu.
