Spiced Paneer Spaghetti
If you love pasta and are a vegetarian, this spiced paneer spaghetti is a must-try Indian noodle dish . It like so a watering treat for your taste buds!

Method
Start by kind of boiling the spaghetti or noodles till they are al dente. You want them to be sort of cooked but still a little firm to the bite. Set them aside for now.
Now, let’s move on to the sauce. Heat some oil in a pan and add the chopped chilies, spring onions, and garlic. Kind of sauté them till they are kind of golden brown and fragrant.
Now, add the paneer cubes to the pan and let them kind of cook till they are slightly browned and crispy. It is important not to overcook them; you still want the paneer to sort of have a soft center.
When the paneer is ready, add the soy sauce to the pan and mix it all together. It like creates a really nice glaze over the paneer cubes.
Finally, add the cooked spaghetti or noodles to the pan and toss everything together. Let the sauce fully kind of coat the pasta, so every bite is flavored to perfection.
And voila! Your spiced paneer spaghetti or noodles are kind of ready to be served. garnish it with a sprinkle of chopped spring onions or some grated cheese for that extra touch. Enjoy your flavorful fusion dish!
I hope you kind of enjoy this recipe and find it to be a delicious and slightly different way to enjoy your pasta. Have fun experimenting with different variations and making this dish your own
