Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • 5 Cheese slices
  • 1 tbsp Pizza pasta sauce
  • 1 tbsp Tomato ketchup
  • 2 tbsp Mayonnaise
  • ¾ cup Heavy cream
  • ½ tsp Pizza seasoning
  • ¼ tsp Red chilli flakes

  1. Cook the penne in 3 cups of salted water until al dente. Drain, but make sure to save 1 cup of the pasta water.
  2. Heat a wok over medium-low heat. Add butter, cheese slices, pizza pasta sauce, tomato ketchup, mayonnaise, heavy cream, pizza seasoning, red chilli flakes, and Kashmiri Red Chilli Powder.
  3. Whisk the mixture continuously until the cheese melts and the sauce is perfectly smooth.
  4. Pour in the reserved pasta water and stir well until the sauce is glossy and bubbling.
  5. Add the boiled pasta and coriander leaves. Toss gently until every penne tube is coated in the thick, creamy sauce.
  6. Transfer to a bowl and garnish with fresh coriander, extra red chilli flakes, and a final drizzle of heavy cream. Serve hot! 🧀🔥
