CURRIED PASTA RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Start sauce first, as it needs to simmer to thicken.
• Pour the can of broth into a medium sized pot and start simmering it.
• Carefully add 1/2 stick of butter, cut into chunks. Stir until melted.
• Add the curry powder, whisking to make sure there are no lumps.
• Sample the sauce to see if the flavor suits you or if you need to add more curry powder.
• In a separate pot, start making the pasta according to the package directions. Drain when done and add the remaining butter, stirring to coat.
• When the sauce has simmered for 5 or 10 minutes, carefully add the coconut cream.
• Sample the sauce again to be sure the flavor is right for you. Notice how the coconut cream enhances the curry flavor without diluting it-mmmm!
• Continue simmering the sauce, whisking occasionally, until it reaches the thickness you desire, or until you cannot stand waiting any longer.
• Serve the sauce over the pasta with a side of crusty bread to dip.

Steps:

• Make the simmered beans as directed, changing only the amount of beans (use 2 quarts water). Remove onion and bay leaf, using tongs or a slotted spoon, as directed. Place a strainer over a bowl and drain beans. Measure broth and top up with enough water to make 6 cups.
• Heat oil over medium heat in a large, heavy casserole or Dutch oven and add chopped onion. Cook, stirring, until just tender, about 5 minutes. Add rosemary and garlic and stir together for another minute, until garlic is fragrant. Stir in tomatoes, add sugar, salt and pepper, and cook, stirring often, until tomatoes have cooked down and the mixture is very fragrant, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Add broth from the beans, tomato paste, hot pepper, bouquet garni, and salt to taste and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 30 minutes. Stir in beans and heat through. Taste and adjust salt.
• 10 to 15 minutes before serving, stir in pasta. When it is cooked al dente, taste and adjust seasonings, stir in parsley, and serve, passing Parmesan in a bowl.
