Ingredient Notes

Thai Green Curry Paste: If you have a bit more time or are up for a good arm work out, you can make my green curry paste! You can make it ahead of time and store it for use later.

If you don't have the time, I recommend using this green curry paste which you should be able to find in any Asian grocery store or online.

Chicken: I use the breast in this recipe, but you can use any part you want or oven switch to another type of meat.

Spaghetti: You can use either freshly cooked or frozen cook spaghetti. The reason why I didn't add the spaghetti cooking time to this recipe is because I often use frozen cooked spaghetti to whip up a dish.

Learn how to cook spaghetti to al dente and how to freeze cooked spaghetti in portions.

Pasta Water: Again, if you use frozen cooked pasta, you may not have any paste water. In this case, you can use a simple vegetable or chicken stock.

Storing and Reheating

I've stored this curry pasta in a refrigerator before and I think it still tastes good once reheated, although a little dryer. For leftovers, store in glass food containers for up to 2 days and microwave for 1 minute to reheat.
