Question 1

What is the best pasta noodle for this recipe?

Accepted Answer

Although you can use any pasta noodle, it is best to use one that holds the seasoning and sauce. You want there to be some little pockets that fill with your ingredients and meld with the garam masala. Tubed noodles like macaroni or penne work great. A short pasta like the fusilli that this recipe calls for is perfect because it has the nooks and crannies, and it is small enough to serve and eat easily.

Question 2

Should I use dry or fresh pasta?

Accepted Answer

Even though fresh pasta is yummy and fresher, the dry pasta will hold up better when you toss it and mix it with all the veggies and other ingredients. This is also a great feature for serving cold or at room temperature because fresh is not as firm as the dried and enriched ones you get at the grocery store. They are also a lot less expensive.

Question 3

What is garam masala?

Accepted Answer

Garam masala is an ancient Indian spice blend used in soup, curries, and other Indian foods. The name means "warming spice" in Indian, and it is supposed to warm the body and increase your metabolism. The ingredients typically include cardamon pods, cumin seeds, peppercorns, coriander seeds, mace, and cinnamon. They are toasted and crushed to a fine powder.
