Exotic Fusion: Comforting Coconut Curry Pasta Recipe

Comforting Coconut Curry Pasta

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a warm and cozy recipe that always brings me back to my trips to Southeast Asia. This comforting coconut curry pasta is a fusion of traditional Italian flavors with a creamy, aromatic curry twist. It’s perfect for any time you crave something familiar yet exotic on your plate.

For this recipe, you’ll need:

• pasta (250g)
• coconut milk (400ml)
• curry powder (2 tbsp)
• bell peppers, thinly sliced (150g)
• onion, diced (1 medium)
• garlic, minced (3 cloves)
• chicken breast, thinly sliced (300g)
• fresh coriander, chopped (for garnish)

To bring this comforting dish to life, you’ll need these kitchen tools:

• large pot
• skillet
• wooden spoon
• knife

Start by cooking the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. In a skillet, heat some oil and sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant. Add the chicken slices and cook until browned on all sides. Sprinkle in the curry powder and stir until the chicken is coated evenly.

Next, pour in the coconut milk and let the mixture simmer gently for about 10 minutes until the flavors meld together. Add the sliced bell peppers and continue to cook until they are tender yet still slightly crisp. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Once the sauce has thickened slightly, add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss everything together until the pasta is well coated with the creamy curry sauce. Serve the coconut curry pasta hot, garnished with a generous sprinkle of fresh coriander for a burst of vibrant flavor.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 1200g, with about 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 300g, with an estimated calorie count of 400 per portion.

For a unique twist, try using whole wheat pasta for a nuttier flavor and extra fiber. The whole wheat pasta adds a wholesome element to this indulgent dish while still maintaining its comforting essence.
