Ingredients:

For the Pasta:

8 oz of your favorite pasta (spaghetti, fettuccine, or rice noodles)

2 tbsp olive oil

1 cup bell peppers, sliced (mix of colors for a vibrant look)

1 cup zucchini, sliced

1 cup broccoli florets

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tbsp ginger, minced

1 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

For the Coconut Curry Sauce:

1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk

2 tbsp red curry paste (adjust to taste)

1 tbsp lime juice

1 tsp brown sugar (to balance the flavors)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil or cilantro for garnish

Instructions:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add your pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve about ½ cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Toss in the bell peppers, zucchini, and broccoli. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the veggies are tender but still vibrant.

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and add the coconut milk and red curry paste. Stir well to combine and simmer for 3-4 minutes.

Add lime juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, and season with salt and pepper to taste. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency.

Add the cooked pasta and cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated in the sauce and heated through.

Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil or cilantro. This dish is best enjoyed warm and is perfect for leftovers!
