Sorry, gotta ask you Italian friends, is curry pasta an abomination to Italian culinary?
Well, Curry is not really a THING here. Especially not the thing the japanese call "curry". Frankly, though, I have no idea what that stuff IS. It looks like the "curry" part of curry and rice just slapped atop a pile of spaghetti?

Yep, that's exactly it. I've made it plenty of times myself to use up leftover curry. If done properly, it has more of the consistency of pasta sauce and may also contain cheese. It's not actually that bad at all. I mean, it's just replacing one carb with another - curry udon, soba, and ramen are all things, so why not pasta, too?

Just paupers trying to make a tradition out of nothing.
An exaggeration of course, but given just how many "recent" food stuff are fabricated to have been some ancient tradition (like pizza, sushi), I tend to heavily dismiss "traditionalist" sentiments.
remember people what the Japanese call a curry is what the British consider what a "curry" is... though a Tikka Masala on pasta does sound interesting... HMMMM
Honestly, that curry spaghetti sounds pretty good. Though that may be because I'm hungry right now.
Well, let me put it this way - the reason you can have chili on spaghetti instead of rice is because the noodles and rice basically serve the same role in the dish and don't carry terribly much flavor on their own.
Hence, this is basically curry rice with weird rice. If you wanted curry, it'd be fine, if you don't mind the somewhat different flavor and added effort in twirling the 'rice'. If you wanted homestyle chunky marinara, this is a travesty.
