Indian Style Pasta in Spinach Sauce is a delightful fusion of Italian elegance and Indian flavors. This dish brings together the silky smoothness of fettuccine pasta with the vibrant green goodness of spinach (palak), creating a meal that’s both nutritious and luxurious. With a velvety white sauce, a touch of fresh cream, and the warmth of garlic and chilli flakes, this pasta is perfect for anyone who loves creamy, flavorful comfort food with an Indian twist.
The magic begins with sautéing garlic in butter, which releases an irresistible aroma and forms the base of the dish. The spinach purée is then added, giving the sauce its rich green color and earthy taste. This step not only enhances the dish’s flavor but also boosts its iron, vitamin A, and antioxidant content, making it as healthy as it is delicious. Cooking the spinach briefly helps retain its natural freshness and vibrant hue.
Next comes the heart of the recipe — the luscious white sauce and fresh cream. These two ingredients create a creamy, velvety texture that coats the pasta beautifully. The addition of dry red chilli flakes (paprika) provides just the right amount of spice and warmth, balancing the mild flavor of spinach. A sprinkle of salt and freshly ground black peppercompletes the sauce, turning it into a perfect blend of richness and subtle spice.
When the cooked fettuccine is tossed into this creamy spinach sauce, every strand gets enveloped in the silky green mixture, creating a dish that’s visually stunning and deeply satisfying. The flavors of garlic, butter, and spinach merge beautifully, offering a harmonious balance between creamy Italian comfort and Indian zest. Garnishing with grated cheese right before serving adds that final touch of indulgence, making it irresistible.
From a health perspective, this Palak Pasta offers the best of both worlds — taste and nutrition. Spinach provides essential nutrients like iron, calcium, and folate, while whole wheat or durum fettuccine supplies fiber and energy. The use of butter and cream in moderation ensures the dish remains rich yet not overly heavy. It’s a great way to make kids and adults enjoy their greens in a flavorful, creamy form that feels gourmet but is easy to make at home.
What makes Fettuccine in Spinach Sauce so special is its simplicity and versatility. With easily available ingredients like palak, garlic, butter, and cream, this dish can be prepared in just a few minutes, yet the result is restaurant-quality. The combination of Indian-style seasoning with Italian pasta makes it an unforgettable meal for family dinners or weekend indulgence. Creamy, colorful, and comforting — this Palak Pasta is a must-try recipe that will make you fall in love with greens all over again! 💚🍝
Serve with side dishes like Grilled Mediterranean Mushrooms , Grilled Pepper Bruschetta and Neapolitan Potato Salad.

In the lane towards the way on my office, there are lots vendors selling snacks like KANDA-POHA, UPMA, MISAL, SHEERA in morning. Sometimes I have quick kanda-poha or upma or sheera nasta, when i have to skip breakfast at home due to short of time n to take scheduled train on time. This happens with lots of Mumbaikars. Usually we make Garam puneri misal, Kanda-poha, Sheera, Thalipeeth on sunday morning breakfast. Chapati/Bhakri chevda (MANORA) is made with leftover rotis or bakri. chakli, shankarpali, shev, Bhadag and chivda is alway ready in our home jars for snacking. Here is the good collection of maharashtrian nastas with well provided information.
