I promised y’all this post awhile ago, and I’m finally here to share!
This is SUCH a fun pasta that I absolutely love. It’s basically Thai red curry, but thickened and used as a traditional pasta sauce with tons of ribbons of fresh Thai basil tossed in. It’s flavorful and fun and colorful!
So here it is!
- 2 C water
- 3 T red curry paste
- 1 T Thai herb blend
- 1 T sriracha
- 1 can coconut milk
- 2 T cornstarch
- 1 heaping cup Thai basil, sliced in ribbons
- Combine water, curry paste, herb blend, and sriracha in a large saucepan. Cook over medium heat until hot and simmering. Stir in coconut milk.
- Mix cornstarch with 2 T water in a small bowl. Slowly whisk into curry mixture, and keep whisking while it thickens for a few minutes. Turn off heat.
- Fold in sliced Thai basil.
I paired this dreamy pasta with my raw Thai veggie salad and a simple seasoned filet of fish. It makes for a really fast weeknight meal (and you can pre-make the veggie salad to save yourself some time!) that comes together so quickly! I am a HUGE fan.
Feel free to add thinly sliced bell peppers, onions, scallions, green beans, or whatever your favorite veggies are for a complete meal all in one.
