Mango Coconut Curry Pasta

Today, I’m excited to share a unique dish that combines the sweetness of mango with the creaminess of coconut in a flavorful curry pasta. This recipe is perfect for a cozy night in or a special occasion when you want to impress your guests with something unexpected and delicious.

Ingredients:

• penne pasta (250g)
• mango (1, chopped)
• coconut milk (200ml)
• curry powder (1 tbsp)
• onion (1, diced)
• garlic (2 cloves, minced)
• ginger (1-inch piece, grated)
• red chili (1, chopped)
• lime juice (1 tbsp)
• cilantro (for garnish)
• salt and pepper (to taste)

Kitchen Tools:

• saucepan
• wooden spoon
• chef’s knife
• cutting board

To start, cook the penne pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. In a saucepan, heat some oil over medium heat and sauté the diced onion until translucent. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped red chili, cooking for another minute until fragrant.

Next, add the chopped mango to the pan and cook until softened. Pour in the coconut milk and curry powder, stirring well to combine. Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes to thicken and develop flavor. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Once the sauce is ready, add the cooked penne pasta to the pan and toss to coat it evenly in the mango coconut curry sauce. Finish off the dish with a squeeze of lime juice for a hint of freshness.

Serve the mango coconut curry pasta hot, garnished with fresh cilantro for a burst of color and flavor.

One unique tip for this recipe is to sprinkle some toasted coconut flakes on top for an added crunch and nutty flavor that complements the creamy curry sauce.
