Follow these step-by-step instructions to create Pasta Butter Chicken effortlessly:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. Brown Chicken: Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and season with salt. Cook until browned and no longer pink (about 5-7 minutes). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of butter. Add onion, garlic, and ginger. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent (about 3-5 minutes).
4. Add Spices: Stir in garam masala, turmeric, and red chili powder. Cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
5. Make Sauce: Add tomato puree and stir to combine. Allow it to simmer for 5 minutes, letting the flavors meld.
6. Incorporate Cream: Pour in the heavy cream and add sugar if desired. Stir the mixture well and allow it to simmer for 5-7 minutes, thickening slightly. Adjust salt as necessary.
7. Combine Chicken and Pasta: Return the browned chicken to the skillet, mixing it thoroughly with the sauce. Stir in the previously cooked pasta, making sure everything is well-coated.
8. Garnish: Top with fresh cilantro before serving to add a pop of color and freshness.
9. Serve Warm: Enjoy immediately while hot, savoring every aromatic bite filled with flavor.
