Instructions
- Cook the linguine in a large pot of boiling salted water, according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil over medium heat. Add the green curry paste and cook for 1-2 minutes until it releases its aroma.
- Pour in the coconut milk, stirring until well combined with the curry paste.
- Add the chicken slices to the pan. Cook until they change color and are no longer pink inside.
- Toss in the red bell pepper and snow peas, cooking for a further 2-3 minutes until they are just tender and vibrant in color.
- Stir in the minced garlic, fish sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice. Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Add the cooked linguine to the pan, tossing until the pasta is well coated in the green curry sauce.
- Serve the linguine hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves. Offer additional lime slices on the side for those who prefer a tangier flavor.
Tips
- For a vegetarian version, substitute the chicken with tofu or a mix of your favorite veggies. For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free pasta.
