Why You'll Love This Recipe

A wonderful blend of creamy coconut and vibrant vegetables, all cooked in one pot for easy cleanup. It’s quick to make, full of flavor, and completely plant-based, making it perfect for busy weeknights or anyone looking to enjoy a comforting meal without fuss.

Tips For Perfect Results

- Use a variety of colorful vegetables to add both nutrition and visual appeal.
- Stir frequently to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- If you like a bit of heat, add a pinch of chili flakes or a splash of hot sauce while cooking.

Step 1

Warm some olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onion and cook it until it’s soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Then add the garlic and let it cook for another minute until fragrant. Next, add the rigatoni pasta along with the coconut milk, diced tomatoes, water, garbanzo beans, red curry paste, curry powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and a pinch of red pepper. Give everything a good stir to mix it all together.

Step 2

Put a tight-fitting lid on the pot and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, turn the heat down and let it simmer, stirring every couple of minutes so the pasta doesn’t stick. This should take about 13 to 15 minutes, until the pasta is cooked and the sauce has thickened nicely.

Step 3

When the pasta is almost done, stir in the cherry tomatoes and spinach. Let it cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, just until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes soften a bit. Give it a taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or red pepper if you want a little extra kick. Serve warm and enjoy!

What To Serve With This Dish

Serve this creamy curry topped with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime for brightness. Pair it with warm naan bread or a simple side salad to round out the meal and add extra texture.

Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of water or coconut milk if the sauce has thickened too much. This dish can also be frozen for up to a month.

The coconut milk made it so smooth. I used penne, but think any pasta would work. My whole family enjoyed it.
