Ingredients

  • 16 Ounces Pasta, gluten-free or regular
  • 6 Medium Carrots
  • 4 Cloves Garlic
  • 1-2 Tablespoons Thai red curry paste, vegan
  • 1 Can(14oz) Coconut cream or full fat coconut milk
  • 1 Tablespoon Vegetable oil
  • 1 Large Shallot, diced
  • 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Sautéed greens(optional)

Instructions

  • Cook the pasta according to directions in a large pot of water. When the pasta is al dente, scoop the pasta out with a mesh strainer, leaving the boiling water in the pot and put the pasta into a large bowl. Set aside.
  • Peel and cut the carrots into large chunks. Put the carrots and garlic cloves into the boiling water.
  • Boil, reducing heat as needed, until the carrots are very tender. About 10-15 minutes.
  • Drain the carrots and garlic, getting rid of the cooking water at this point.
  • Add the carrots, garlic, red curry paste(using 1 TBSP if you want it less spicy and 2 TBSP if you want more spice), coconut milk and a pinch of salt and pepper to a blender.
  • Blend, scraping down the sides as needed, until the sauce is completely smooth.
  • Now, using the pot you were using to cook everything in, heat the oil on medium high.
  • Add the shallot and ginger to the pot. Sauté, reducing heat as needed, until the shallot is translucent. About 2-3 minutes.
  • Pour the sauce you made into the pot and stir to combine everything.
  • Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 1-2 minutes.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings. Adding more salt and pepper if needed.
  • Pour the cooked pasta into the pot and toss with the sauce. Let the pasta heat back up for about 3-5 minutes, since it has been sitting for a bit.
  • Serve immediately with chives and sautéed greens if desired.
