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!
What kinds of curry are there
- Curry is a lot of things. It comes in all kinds of shapes and forms and colors.
- There are sauces as in a spicy spiced curry that mixes so well with noodles and rice. No curry included. The curry is actually the sauce.
- Curry powder is probably sitting in your cupboard right now. It’s made up of many different spices and comes to us in a little jar to help us give depth to our cooking.
- You can buy curry pastes in jars and they come as red curry paste and green curry paste. A little bit goes a long way.
- There are also small curry cubes that are used in Japanese cooking. Not so spicy but a great addition to sauces.
- For this recipe, there is both curry powder and curry paste and it is a mildly sweet creamy sauce that you'll want to make for other recipes too.
So you can see there’s no reason to ever be confused. You are now armed with the information you need to talk ‘foodie’.

Can I omit the thai chili paste? Too spicy for my palate
Ginny McMeans
It would be a hard ingredient to omit Kelly. It is a main ingredient for the recipe that adds a lot of taste. Ketchup has a very similar texture to chili paste but I don't think it would taste all that good.
Becky
This was really good. I did add a little mango powder and used half the coconut milk and used some soy milk I place of the remaining coconut milk. This is now a weekly dinner. Thank you
Cheryl
This recipe is excellent! My husband and son thought it tasted like a dish from our favorite Thai restaurant. I had to stop myself from licking the plate. Next time I will add some fried tofu and more veggies. Hopefully I will get to the leftovers for lunch before my son cause there's only enough for 1.
Also love how easy this was to prepare. My favorite type of recipe...easy and delicious.
Ginny McMeans
That is wonderful Cheryl. I am so glad your whole family loved it. Thanks for letting us know!
Erin
I’m new to eating plant based and this was one of the first recipes I made. I’m very picky about curry so I was incredibly surprised when the flavors of this dish were so spot on. I added more veggies like broccoli and snow peas just for a little extra something. I’ve made this recipe three times already and it stores so well as leftovers. My husband who is not vegan loves this recipe too. Thank you for this amazing dish!
Ginny McMeans
Fantastic Erin! Thank you for all your feedback and I'm so glad you love the flavors.

This is delicious! Next time I’ll add more peas and a tad more salt, but otherwise, SO good. My kids and I really enjoyed this.
Dena
Made this tonite and it was great hit with my family. So simple and easy to make but such good taste. Next time I’ll plan to add more veggies and maybe some protein. Thank you, this was a great find.
