Ingredients
- 300 g penne pasta
- 400 g boneless chicken thighs cubed
- 400 ml coconut milk
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon Curry powder
- ½ Teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 cup frozen green peas.
- ½ cup fresh onion finely chopped
- 4 large garlic cloves chopped
- 1 teaspoon ginger paste
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes or as needed
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by cooking the pasta in well-salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve some pasta water.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat and saute diced onion until softened. Add minced garlic and ginger and cook for another 30 seconds or just until fragrant.
- Add diced chicken, curry powder, turmeric, and coriander and stir to combine. Continue to stir for a few minutes until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.
- Pour in coconut milk, season with salt, black pepper, and chili flakes, and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and reduce the heat to low-medium. Let the curry simmer for 5-7 minutes until slightly reduced in size.
- Stir in the frozen peas (the pasta should be done at this point) and add the drained pasta. Toss or stir to combine, making sure the pasta is well coated in the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water as desired to thin it out.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as desired. Serve with freshly chopped cilantro or parsley (optional) and enjoy!
