Red pepper flakes (optional, for additional heat)
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Boil pasta* according to instructions on the packet, drain, saving about ¼ cup of the starchy water and keep aside.

  2. Add Masala Mama Tikka Masala Simmer Sauce** to a large sauce pan over medium heat. Add cream and mix well.
