Easy Thai Green Curry Chicken Spaghetti

I had written out our weekly menu earlier in the week, but for Wednesday I had written “Random”— aka I had run out of ideas for what to make for dinner, so I thought I’d figure it out later.

Random Night had arrived, so I searched online, and scrounged around in our pantry and fridge looking for inspiration. I had some Thai green curry paste, spaghetti noodles, cauliflower and green beans. I didn’t want to do a full on traditional Thai green curry since I was missing the veggies that go in it, and my Thai hubby isn’t a huge fan of curry, so instead I decided to do a quick Thai green curry over spaghetti noodles.

I decided to use spaghetti noodles instead of rice noodles since my Thai hubby prefers these Barilla Protein Plus Spaghetti because he loves to work out and likes how they have 17 grams of protein to make his muscles big and strong. But feel free to use whatever pasta or rice noodles you have on hand that you like most!

The Thai green curry ends up being a light sauce to put over the noodles, but if you want it more soupy, feel free to double the coconut milk, and curry paste. Our sunny Austin weather has been cold and dreary lately, so this Thai Green Curry Chicken Spaghetti felt like ray of summer sunshine in the midst of our cloudy winter days! And the extra bonus was that it was quick to make, and as all curries do, it tasted even better the next day!

Yay for Random Night inspirations!
