CURRY PASTA

Steps:

• Start sauce first, as it needs to simmer to thicken.
• Pour the can of broth into a medium sized pot and start simmering it.
• Carefully add 1/2 stick of butter, cut into chunks. Stir until melted.
• Add the curry powder, whisking to make sure there are no lumps.
• Sample the sauce to see if the flavor suits you or if you need to add more curry powder.
• In a separate pot, start making the pasta according to the package directions. Drain when done and add the remaining butter, stirring to coat.
• When the sauce has simmered for 5 or 10 minutes, carefully add the coconut cream.
• Sample the sauce again to be sure the flavor is right for you. Notice how the coconut cream enhances the curry flavor without diluting it-mmmm!
• Continue simmering the sauce, whisking occasionally, until it reaches the thickness you desire, or until you cannot stand waiting any longer.
• Serve the sauce over the pasta with a side of crusty bread to dip.
