Yellow Curry Pasta
This Yellow Curry Pasta recipe is such a tasty dish. This is a perfect recipe for a weeknight meal when you want a 15 minute meal. I am not sure but maybe I am done with my yellow curry paste. The recipes just keep coming. The sauce is so good that I love that I have a ton to use. If you go back to the original recipe, you will find that it is really pretty easy to make. Throw some herbs and spices into your blender or Cuisinart and you are done. I am getting ready to start experimenting with other mixes for the fun of it. The concept of these pastes are so great because the flavor is so good and it is easy to make extra and that makes putting future meals together a breeze.
Yellow Curry Pasta
I love creating fusion with pasta. Noodles are such a great base for receiving whatever flavor you want to add. In this case, the sauce has such a good texture that the noodles make this Yellow Curry Pasta a wonderful recipe and dish. One can add almost any items that you like to the noodles and sauce. I had leftover baked chicken and some grape tomatoes. These ingredients provided substance and color to this dish.
In this recipe, I followed the traditional cooking method of adding the curry paste to a little bit of oil. It gets cooked for a couple of minutes to let the flavors come out. Next, I added my favorite ingredient – coconut milk. It makes the curry sauce so creamy. But this time I got carried away by adding fat-free Greek yogurt to the sauce. This addition is a low fat way to thicken the sauce. Bottom line is that this curry paste is super flexible and this Yellow Curry Pasta is a keeper.
The building of the sauce with the curry paste, the fat-free Greek yogurt and the coconut milk added.
The chicken, tomatoes and then, the noodles added.
The Yellow Curry Pasta mixed together in the skillet, and then, plated.

Hi Peter,
Just found your pin and came here. Love the idea of this recipe 🙂 I love fusion food. I have just one suggestion though, in India we don’t use “yellow curry” “red curry” or “green curry” pastes. Neither north or south. Curry paste with a prominent lemongrass note is a south east Asian thing. Not the same geography. I thought I’d just let you know. Cheers!
Thank you so much for sharing that insight. I really strive to be authentic. I am embarrassed that I understood that wrong. I am going to read up on that some more. Thx for stopping by.
Peter, I tried your recipe last night. Just used plain full fat yoghurt instead of the one recommended (since I had that at hand). Oh my, I love the flavours. Brilliant stuff. 🙂
I am so pleased. If you think it is good then, I must have done pretty good. You made my day and probably my week!
I totally love this idea of eating curry and pasta together in the same dish! This sounds super delicious 🙂
I just love any sauce on pasta and this curry was a good one.
I’m super new to using curry and this is looking like something I need to try!!! It looks like comfort food at its finest and so delicious. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Thx Nicole. Curry is a great flavor. Give it a try.
I’m always looking for good pasta recipes and this one looks aaaamazing!! So creative with the yellow curry. Can’t wait to try it!
Thx so much Sam.
Well isn’t this just so good, we were planning to do a curry for dinner tonight and then I come across this! Dinner = sorted. Thanks for sharing!
P.S. Never tried including the yoghurt before, will have to try that. We usually have some on the side. Yay for kitchen experiments!
Then this was meant to be. You are obviously from London or the like because of how you spelled “yoghurt” LOL
I love curry! I bet this is a delicious dish…will definitely have to make it ASAP! Thanks so much for sharing!!
Thx Sarah. Please share it if you do make it.
Mmm this looks so tasty, my mouth is watering already! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much Sarah.
