Ingredients:

• 200g spaghetti
• 400ml coconut milk
• 250g chicken breast, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp curry powder
• 1 onion, chopped
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1-inch piece of ginger, grated

• 1 lime, juiced
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh cilantro for garnish

Kitchen Tools:

To start, cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat and add the sliced chicken breast. Season with salt and pepper and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add a bit more oil, then sauté the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger until fragrant. Stir in the curry powder and cook for another minute. Pour in the coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Add the green beans and cooked chicken back to the skillet. Let everything simmer for another 5-7 minutes until the sauce has slightly thickened and the green beans are tender.

Drain the cooked spaghetti and add it to the skillet with the coconut curry sauce. Toss everything together until the spaghetti is well coated. Squeeze in the lime juice and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve the Coconut Curry Spaghetti hot, garnished with fresh cilantro. The combination of creamy coconut milk, aromatic curry, and zesty lime creates a truly unique and delicious dish that will surely warm you up on a chilly day.

One unusual tip for this recipe is to add a splash of fish sauce to the coconut curry sauce for an extra depth of flavor. The umami richness of the fish sauce really elevates the dish and adds a whole new dimension to the flavors.
