WHAT YOU NEED for SAUCE (makes about 4 servings):
*NOTE: Use organic ingredients where you can
▫️1 can sweet potato puree
▫️1 can full fat coconut milk
▫️2 tsp red curry paste
▫️1/2 tsp of black pepper, crushed red pepper, pink salt, & onion powder
▫️1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
.
WHAT YOU NEED for CHICKEN, VEGGIE & PASTA (optional)
▫️1 lb chicken breast
▫️1 large clove of garlic, minced
▫️2 tbsp avocado oil
▫️1/2 tsp water
▫️1/2 tsp red curry paste
▫️2 cups spinach
▫️4 servings of pasta of choice
HOW TO:
In a small bowl mix 1 tbsp avocado oil, water, & 1/2 tsp red curry. Pour over chicken and let marinate for at least 30 mins. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake for 30-35 mins.
While your chicken is cooking, make your sauce. In a large saucepan combine sweet potato puree, coconut milk, red curry pasts, & spices over medium/high heat. Using a whisk, combine all ingredients & whisk occasionally. Once it reaches a boil, reduce heat to low and let the sauce simmer while chicken cooks. (If not cooking chicken, it only needs about 10-15 minutes to simmer).
Meanwhile, boil a pot of water to cook your pasta.
Next, add remaining 1 tbsp of avocado oil to sauté pan and warm over medium heat. Add spinach and spice to taste. Let cook for about 3 minutes and set aside.
Once everything is cooked, it is time to assemble your pasta dish! Add protein, veggie, and pasta to a bowl and pour your sauce on top! Garnish with a little crushed red pepper and ENJOY!
