Green Curry Pasta

Green Curry Pasta
Fushion food at its best – Green curry (chicken & prawns) with farfalle pasta

One of the reasons why I love green curry is because not only is it nice enjoyed with white rice, it is also nice with pasta as a one-dish meal. I basically boil some pasta, arrange them on a plate, and ladle green curry over the pasta. The curry as you can see is slightly more soupy than the usual green curry – the way I like it, when having it with pasta. I went to Bangkok in February this year and stuffed myself silly with the yummy and affordable Thai food there. Even though it’s been three months, I still miss Thai food a lot. This is one of the dishes which I enjoyed in Bangkok and so I tried to recreate it at home.

  1. Your green curry looks good :)
    I have had linguini with masaman beef too :)

  2. Yes, I’ve tried curries and even sweet sambal sauce with my pasta! Well, green curry? I think not yet … It’d be great if I ever get to try it … Hahaha! Now I’m stealing the idea from you!! This type of fusion … I guess it’s a REALLY Malaysian/Singaporean thing! These two countries are where East meets West!

  3. Wheeeee! I spot my favorite, punchi dotted napkins. :D As always, they go perfectly with your colorful pasta/veggie dishes. This meal looks amazing, I must add! I’ve never had curried food before.
