Introducing: Spicy Pineapple Coconut Pasta

Hey there, foodies! Today’s dish is inspired by the vibrant flavors of summer and my recent trip to a tropical paradise. I wanted to create a dish that combines the sweetness of pineapple with the creaminess of coconut milk, all with a spicy kick to make things interesting. So, without further ado, let’s dive into the recipe for my Spicy Pineapple Coconut Pasta!

Ingredients:

  • linguine (200g)
  • fresh pineapple chunks (150g)
  • canned coconut milk (200ml)
  • red chili, sliced (1)
  • garlic cloves, minced (2)
  • fresh ginger, grated (1 tbsp)
  • lime, juiced (1)
  • fresh cilantro, chopped (a handful)
  • salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

  • pot
  • skillet
  • grater
  • knife
  • wooden spoon

To start, cook the linguine according to the package instructions in a pot of salted boiling water. In a skillet, heat some coconut milk over medium heat. Add in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and sliced red chili for a kick of spice. Let the flavors meld together for a couple of minutes.

Next, add the fresh pineapple chunks to the skillet. Stir well to coat the pineapple in the aromatic coconut milk mixture. Squeeze in the lime juice for a hint of citrus freshness. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Once the linguine is cooked al dente, drain it and add it to the skillet with the pineapple and coconut mixture. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated in the creamy sauce. Serve the dish hot, garnished with fresh cilantro for an added burst of flavor.

The total weight of the cooked Spicy Pineapple Coconut Pasta is approximately 600g. This recipe serves 4 people, with each serving weighing around 150g. One serving of this dish is estimated to be around 350 calories.

One unique tip for this recipe is to toast some shredded coconut in a dry skillet until golden brown and sprinkle it on top of the pasta for an extra crunch and nuttiness.

I hope you give this Spicy Pineapple Coconut Pasta a try and feel free to customize it to your liking with additional veggies or protein. Enjoy the tropical flavors and happy cooking!
