I absolutely LOVE pasta and I love quick and easy meals! So this Asian style vegan one pot pasta with coconut milk and red curry paste is absolutely perfect. It’s my new favorite meal for weeknight dinners. Easy, healthy, and so incredibly delicious and creamy.
And you need only one pot to make it! This vegan one pot pasta really couldn’t be much easier. You just throw in all of the ingredients – including the uncooked pasta – and then cook it for about 15 minutes.
This way it’s packed with flavor and it saves you lots of time and also dirty dishes. As all my recipes, it’s of course 100 % vegan.
When I first tried one pot pasta, I was actually really skeptical. I mean it does sound a bit weird, doesn’t it? And when I shared my vegan one pot spaghetti with vegetables on my Facebook page, some people actually got really mad. Haha!
One guy even commented that this would be considered a blasphemy in Italy. Well, this vegan one pot pasta might not be a traditional pasta recipe, but it’s so darn delicious!! It’s like an Asian style one pot pasta with the coconut milk and the red curry paste. Super aromatic, a bit spicy, and sooo creamy!

Made this tonight,really yummy will make it again. I put the whole tin of coconut milk in also 2 tins of tomatoes. The pasta took longer to cook,I then realised I had used whole meal pasta which does take longer. All en all a very good dish,
Fantastic! I added the full can of coconut milk and a teaspoon of Garamond Masala to boost the flavor. Definitely going to make this again.
Delicious! One of my go-to dishes now :)
Delicious… skeptical at first. Tastes great! I cheated and used TJ’s Red thai curry sauce.
