Sala isn’t afraid to experiment with her pasta! She believes that it is wrong to limit pasta to Italian cooking. She loves pasta with mustard seeds, cumin, turmeric, chili and cilantro - Indian style, and has even had a pasta dessert at a friend’s house! A light dessert pasta made with sugar and coconut! (She admits that the sweet pasta wasn’t exactly good, but that’s just between us!) Through all of her experiences Sala has found that pasta is such a versatile ingredient, and has only been encouraged to keep experimenting.

One of Sala’s favorite pasta dishes is her Thai Green Curry Pasta. She loves enjoying this pasta on a rainy, cold weekend curled up with a steaming bowl watching movies. Sounds like a great winter weekend to me!

This Thai pasta is packed full of flavor and spice. The sweetness of the coconut milk and peanut butter is perfectly balanced by the spiciness of the chili paste and freshness of the onions, garlic, mushrooms, cilantro, carrots and ginger.

Sala’s Veggie Belly is full of great pasta dishes and other fabulous recipes!
