So I decided that after watching Rachel Ray that I would attempt my own version of coconut curry noodles. So after going into my pantry and looking at my ingredients realized, I think I can make this happen. I think it came out pretty tasty and for those wanting to limit their carbs sub, the spaghetti with spaghetti squash a delicious alternative. Although I would not sub the coconut milk!
So I grabbed a box of thin spaghetti (its what i had)1 can coconut milk unsweetened (sorry it's a must)
2 tbsp of yellow curry powder (get a small bottle you'll love it)
1 1/4 tsp of cumin (same as above)
1 shallot or small diced onion
1 clove garlic diced (please use the fresh)
1 tbsp Olive Oil (Colavita is a fave)
Red pepper flakes (to taste)
Serrano chili pepper diced (optional)
In a medium to large skillet I heated to Olive Oil in a medium heat. I filled a large pot with water for the pasta. I then added the shallot, garlic and chili pepper and cooked them until softened. I then add the cumin and curry powder and cook them for 2 minutes. I then added the coconut milk and reduced the heat to low. Stirring occasionally. Now I wanted to bump up the protein so I added some lump crab meat, its pricey but I got it on sale so its what I used. Some grilled chicken would be great or fish.
Add salt to the boiling water for the pasta and cook according to the directions. When done I just grab tongs and put it into the skillet with the coconut curry and stir to combine for a few minutes. When done I added some basil but parsley would be good and some peanuts. I found it to be delicious and filling and kept the leftovers for lunch the next day.
