🥕 Ingredients

These are the main ingredients, and the quantities are in the recipe card below.

• A red onion - slightly stronger in flavor than yellow or white.
• Garlic - if you want to choose your garlic carefully to avoid condoning the enslavement of Chinese prisoners, read my Eco Tips on the subject.
• Vegetables - depending on the season, I use fresh or frozen ones. I think the green peas, carrots and cherry tomatoes go perfectly with the rest of the ingredients in this recipe.
• Coconut cream - I've seen many recipes using coconut milk, but I find that coconut cream coupled with a little water of the pastas gives a much better result, much creamier and smoother. So that's what I recommend!
• Curry paste - I've used yellow curry paste here, but you can use green or red if you prefer. Note that the yellow one is rather mild, while the red one is spicier and the green one is really spicy.
• Double tomato paste, which adds a delicious summer flavor to the dish.
• Turmeric - I use turmeric powder for convenience, but you can also use fresh turmeric and chop it finely.
• Pasta - choose the one you like : Linguine, Papardelle, Spaghetti or even Penne or Orrechiette.
• Garnish with fresh coriander.

🍗 Variations

Feel free to adapt this recipe to your own tastes. I suggest several options:

• Protein, such as chicken or shrimp. You can add them cooked at the end, or put them raw in the pan and cook them in the sauce.
• Other vegetables, to be adapted according to the season: mushrooms, broccoli, cauliflower, butternut, zucchinis, eggplant, etc...
• For extra spice, add chilli flakes or Cayenne pepper.
• For topping: pita bread, Ciabatta bread or even cheese naan .
• For a healthier recipe: you can accompany this dish with a green salad (lettuce, spinach, lamb's lettuce, kale: whatever you like).

✅ Make it gluten-free

For a gluten-free version of this curry pasta: use gluten-free pasta and make sure there's no gluten in your curry paste, salt or black pepper.

🥰 Chef's tips

Don't overcook your pasta: I recommend Al Dente, as it will still be cooking in the sauce pot.

❄️ Storage, reheating and freezing

• Storage - once cold, place your curry pasta in an airtight container. This way, you can keep them in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
• Reheating - the sauce may be a little less creamy after it's been in the fridge, so don't hesitate to add one or two tablespoons of water before reheating. And to reheat them, just put them in the microwave.
• Freeze - you can also freeze them. Place them, cold, in a freezer bag marked with the date and the name of the recipe. You can keep them for 2 to 3 months.
