Curry Pizza House is bringing its distinctive Indian flavor to pasta with a new fusion pasta line.
Featuring classic Italian American dishes with a flavorful twist, the new pasta lineup offers a unique take on comfort food. For instance, there's an Alfredo & Pesto Pasta that pairs creamy Alfredo sauce and herby pesto tossed with authentic Indian spices. There's also a Marinara Fusion Pasta, which combines classic marinara and pesto with garlic and spicy chili flakes. Lastly, there's a Butter Sauce Pasta that features a rich, butter chicken-inspired cream sauce, along with garlic, veggies, and melted mozzarella.
As Neelu Gill, COO of Curry Pizza House, says of the new fusion pasta line, "We've seen firsthand how much guests enjoy experiencing familiar comfort foods through the lens of authentic Indian flavors, and these pastas allow us to continue that journey in an exciting new way."
