Italian pasta with Indian spices is a delicious fusion I’ve explored in recipes like my masala pasta. This vegan curried spaghetti with kale is another recipe I cooked up when trying to come up with food that would appeal to my Indian taste buds and my love for Italian food. Over the years it has become one of my favorite weeknight recipes. This is a no-stress recipe: you throw everything, including the uncooked pasta, in a single pot and let everything cook together. But the ease of preparation doesn’t mean there’s any compromise in flavor or texture: the spaghetti noodles cook to perfect, al dente tenderness and they are so, so delicious coated with the creamy, smooth, perfectly spiced coconut sauce.
Why you will love this recipe
There’s so much flavor in every mouthful of this spaghetti, and you can tweak it to your liking by adding other greens. You can even add beans for a protein upgrade. But my favorite part, after the flavor, definitely has to be the ease of making this curried spaghetti. You don’t need to add another large pasta pot to your sink - the pasta cooks along with everything else in a single pot!
