One Pot Thai Pasta Bowl


If you like Thai - you will love this dish!  And, it couldn't be simpler.  It's a one pot meal - place all the ingredients together in one pot, cook for 10 minutes, and enjoy.  It's doesn't get much easier than that!  I made this on a Friday night after a long week at work, and it was perfect.


(Recipe adapted from this one at Your Cup of Cake)

One Pot Thai Pasta Bowl
- 12 oz. pasta (spaghetti or linguine; uncooked)
- 4 cups vegetable stock or broth
- 1/2 cup water
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2" section of ginger root; cut into 1/2" long pieces
- 1 large carrot, sliced into 2" long slices
- 1 red bell pepper; sliced into 2" long slices
- 6 green onions; sliced lengthwise and into 2" long pieces
- 1/2 cup roasted, salted peanuts, plus additional for garnish
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter (creamy)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon red curry paste (I found this in a tiny jar in the Asian section of my grocery store)
- Juice of 1 lime
- Lime wedges, for garnish
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish

1.  Add all ingredients (except for lime juice, lime wedges, and cilantro) to a medium size stock pot.  Place on stove and bring to a boil over medium / high heat.  Reduce heat to medium / low, and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.  Remove from heat.  If all of liquid is not yet absorbed, cover and let sit, about 5 minutes.  Remove ginger pieces and discard.  Stir in lime juice.

2.  Dish out pasta and top with chopped peanuts, lime wedges, and chopped cilantro for garnish.  Enjoy!

I really loved this dish - I'm putting it on my regular meal rotation list.
