Coconut Curry Pasta
Written by: Bethany
The combination of Coconut Milk and Curry is LEGENDARY, and this Coconut Curry Pasta proves that 100% right. Across so many cuisines, the mix of curry and coconut (in many forms) always makes a delicious, hearty, and flavorful dish, and this one is no exception.
This recipe has a twist by adding some Stew (tomatoes, peppers, and onions) blended and cooked together. It is a base or mother sauce in West African/Nigerian cooking, and this addition gives the dish a lot of depth for the different flavor profiles in this dish.
Making this dish requires some skill, but rest assured, this dish will blow your socks off!
