Pasta and Cauliflower Curry

Pasta isn’t customarily seasoned with curry, but I’ve long enjoyed this combination.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 servings

Ingredients

10 to 12 ounces pasta, any short chunky shape
1 small head cauliflower, cut into bite-size pieces
One 28-ounce can low-sodium diced tomatoes, with liquid
1 cup frozen green peas, thawed
2 teaspoons good-quality curry powder, or to taste
Salt to taste

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Cook the pasta according to package directions and drain.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, steam the cauliflower in a large saucepan until tender-crisp to your liking. Add the tomatoes, peas, and curry powder and bring to a simmer. Cook gently over medium-low heat, just until the mixture is heated through.

    Step 3

    Combine the pasta and cauliflower mixture in a serving container and toss together. Season with salt and serve.
