Ingredients

½ (8 ounce) package spaghetti
1 cup coconut milk
½ cup dry white wine
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
1 teaspoon white sugar (Optional)
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 ½ cups cooked shredded chicken
2 roma (plum) tomatoes, diced
½ cup bean sprouts
¼ cup chopped fresh basil
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
3 green onions, chopped
1 (5 ounce) package arugula
1 lemon, zested

Directions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain and return spaghetti to pot.
Whisk coconut milk, white wine, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, sugar, salt, red pepper flakes, and black pepper in a small saucepan over medium heat; simmer until flavors combine, 5 to 6 minutes.
Stir chicken, tomatoes, bean sprouts, basil, parsley, and green onions into pasta; cook over low heat until warmed through, 3 to 5 minutes. Add coconut sauce; stir to combine. Serve pasta over a bed of arugula. Sprinkle with lemon zest.
