Ingredients
-
1 ½ cups sunflower seeds
-
2 (14 ounce) cans coconut milk, divided
-
½ cup red curry paste, or more to taste, divided
-
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro, or more to taste, divided
-
2 limes, juiced, divided
-
½ teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning
-
1 (8 ounce) package elbow macaroni
-
1 (8 ounce) package broccoli florets
-
1 pinch curry powder, or more to taste
-
3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
-
1 teaspoon white sugar
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
Place sunflower seeds in a bowl and pour in enough water to cover; soak for about 10 minutes.
-
Mix 1 1/2 cans coconut milk, 1/4 cup curry paste, 1/4 cup cilantro, juice of 1 lime, and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a saucepan; cook and stir over medium-low heat until curry sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes.
-
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 8 minutes. Drain and mix pasta into curry sauce; cook and stir over low heat.
-
Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add broccoli, cover, and steam until tender, about 2 minutes. Season broccoli with salt and curry powder and transfer to a 9x13-inch baking dish.
-
Drain sunflower seeds and place in a blender with remaining coconut cream, remaining curry paste, remaining cilantro, juice of 1 lime, nutritional yeast, and sugar; blend until thick and smooth.
-
Spoon pasta mixture over broccoli. Pour sunflower seed mixture over pasta and stir to coat evenly.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until sauce is bubbling, about 10 minutes.
Cook's Note:
You can use coconut cream instead of coconut milk (I got mine from Trader Joe's.)
I used sunflower seeds soaked for about 10 minutes in water, but you can use cashews or peanuts instead.
You can use any steamed veggies in this. I used a broccoli and cauliflower mix when I made it, but you could do it with kale, too! I just seasoned it with curry powder and salt while I steamed it in the microwave.
