"I've wanted to cook this pasta variation for a long time. Finishing it with coconut milk instead of cream makes the dish uniquely aromatic. It’s a little spicy, a little sweet and absolutely delicious. This tasty, pantry-friendly 5-ingredient recipe is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner, and if you’re looking to jazz it up, lemongrass, carrot and coriander are all great additions. If you don’t have our Curry Power spice mix, you can alternatively use a mix of turmeric, ginger, cumin, coriander, mustard seed, fenugreek, cardamom, and cinnamon."
