Notes
Tips:
If you want a spicier version of this pasta then add more curry powder.
If pasta dries out too much after adding cream then add some water in which pasta was cooked.
Keep pasta and sauce separately. Just before serving add pasta to the sauce on medium heat and stir well.
In case you do not have basil, can use any other herb like dry oregano or fresh coriander leaves.
You can also add mushrooms.
