One-Pan Curry Pasta
Report
This one-pan curry pasta is such a quick and easy recipe that it is perfect for a quick lunch, a simple side dish, or a late-night snack. Serve it as a side dish with seared meat or a grilled piece of fish, or you can turn it into a meal by adding some roasted vegetables or your favorite protein (chicken or shrimp is always a favorite). This isn't in any way an authentic Indian or Thai curry, think more like the flavor of a curried chicken salad but in mild, warm creamy, comforting pasta form!

Ingredients
- 1 onion
- 1 carrot
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 4 ½ cups broth -see note 1
- 2 teaspoon curry powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon sugar
- pinch black pepper
- 10 oz pasta - see note 2
- 1 cup frozen peas
- ½ cup cream
Instructions
Start by preparing the vegetables
- Peel and finely chop the onion, carrot, and garlic.1 onion1 carrot3 garlic cloves
- Set to one side.
To cook the pasta and sauce
- Melt the butter in a large pan (see note 3)2 tablespoon butter
- Add the onions and carrot and sweat them off for 5 minutes until softened.
- Add the garlic and stir together until it smells fragrant.
- Pour in the broth, then add the curry powder, salt, sugar, and black pepper.4 ½ cups broth2 teaspoon curry powder½ teaspoon salt¼ teaspoon sugarpinch black pepper
- Bring to a simmer and then add in the pasta and the frozen peas. Stir well, then reduce the heat to a medium, so the broth is barely simmering.10oz pasta1 cup frozen peas
- Stir the pasta every couple of minutes, so the pasta doesn't stick.
- Test the pasta after 9 minutes if it's not ready, check again at 10 minutes. (see note 4)
- Once the pasta is cooked, add the heavy cream to the remaining liquid in the pan. Turn up the heat and boil for a minute to thicken the sauce.½ cup heavy cream
- Serve.
Notes
- I use chicken or vegetable broth for this recipe.
- You want to pick a pasta shape that can withstand stirring. So a penne or a rigatoni is excellent. Farfalle (bowtie) pasta isn't a great option as the ends tend to break off when you stir the pasta.
- You want a large pan so that all of the pasta gets a chance to sit in the liquid. I like to use a wide, high sided skillet; it makes it easier to stir without covering the stovetop.
- One-pan pasta takes a little longer to cook than the traditional method. If your water is simmering a little too vigorously, you will find the pasta may cook more quickly, but unevenly. Better to take an extra couple of minutes and use the barest of simmers.
