Author Notes: This is a twist on a meal that I make all the time because a) it’s easy, b) my husband LOVES it, and c) the ingredients are inexpensive and always on hand. I normally do this with chicken but chickpeas work just as well. If you have veggies on hand throw them in too! I like to put in red peppers or fresh paprikas and broccoli. —Amy Clark

Cook time: 10 min
Ingredients
-
1
small white onion
-
1
teaspoon ground garlic
-
1
teaspoon ground ginger
-
1
teaspoon fish sauce
-
2
teaspoons lemon or lime juice
-
1
teaspoon green curry paste
-
2
cans of chickpeas
-
1
can coconut cream
-
1/2
cup vegetable stock
-
1
500g bag of pasta (fusilli works well)
Directions
- Heat a bit of olive oil or coconut oil in a pan. Chop the onion into small pieces. When the pan is almost smoking, add the onion so it sizzles. Fry for 2-3 minutes.
- Meanwhile cook the pasta according to the instructions on the packet.
- Add the garlic and ginger. Fry for another 2-3 minutes.
- Add the fish sauce, lemon juice and curry paste. The pan will be hot and starting to stick so make sure it doesn’t burn.
- Pour the chickpeas into the pan and coat with the onion mixture. Stir to mix thoroughly.
- Add the coconut cream and the vegetable stock to the pan. Simmer for 5-10 minutes. Once the pasta is cooked, add that in and serve immediately.
