Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Lemon Coconut Thai Pasta.
Step 1
Start by bringing a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add the spaghetti and cook it for about 12 minutes, stirring occasionally until it's al dente. Once done, drain the spaghetti and return it to the pot, keeping it warm.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, whisk together the coconut milk, dry white wine, fresh lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, sugar (if using), salt, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Heat this mixture over medium heat, allowing it to simmer for 5 to 6 minutes until the flavors meld beautifully.
Step 3
Next, stir in the cooked shredded chicken, diced tomatoes, bean sprouts, chopped basil, parsley, and green onions into the pasta. Cook everything over low heat for about 3 to 5 minutes until warmed through, ensuring all the ingredients are well combined.
Step 4
Pour the luscious coconut sauce over the pasta and give it a good stir to coat everything evenly. To serve, create a bed of fresh arugula on each plate and spoon the pasta mixture on top. Finish with a sprinkle of lemon zest for that extra zing!
How to Serve
Serve warm over a bed of fresh arugula, garnished with lemon zest for a refreshing touch.
How to Store
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of coconut milk if needed to restore creaminess.
