Thai Curry Recipe with Fettuccine has a curry based sauce highlighted with bamboo shoots and peas. An authentic taste of Asia that is vegan flavorful and very easy to prepare.
It is fantastic being able to get your hands on so many items in the grocery stores these days. Even the big food chains have organic produce and organic canned goods as well.
You can also find ethnic ingredients in their own specialty sections. Red curry paste is in the Asian section and it is right above the bamboo shoots. We are so lucky.
Thai Curry Fettuccine is super simple and wait until you taste the final sauce.
A bit spicy and a little sweet it all comes together to make one of the most flavorful and unique pasta dishes out there.
I made Easy Curry Rice for the blog a while ago and it's completely different. The curry spice is strictly from curry powder not paste.
There are a few ways to 'get your curry on' but Thai Curry Recipe is the kind with a sauce and a very filling main dish.
You can also freeze this dish in an airtight freezer container but I actually didn't get to do that.
I ate it for lunch two days in a row and, believe me, I was really looking forward to those lunches.
So, you can feed a large family or serve two and divide the leftovers for future meals.
I'm sure you'll be as happy as I was to have a simple and delicious meal that is already done and just needs to be heated in a saucepan or microwave.
Either way it is quick!

Nice recipe. This is a great twist if you want pasta, but with a very different type of sauce than Italian. I love creamy sauces, but I don't always want dairy. So, using coconut milk is great. I also was trying to finish off a jar of red curry, which is how I found this recipe. My only change to the recipe was I used some gemelli pasta that I wanted to finish off.

This was better than takeout! The perfect amount of spice. My store didn’t have bamboo shoots, so I substituted water chestnuts.
