Ingredients
-
13.25 to 16 ounces whole-wheat angel hair, thin spaghetti, or capellini -
Cooking spray -
1 cup fresh basil leaves OR -
2 teaspoons dried basil, crumbled -
1 pound ground skinless chicken breast OR -
1 pound ground skinless turkey breast -
1 8-ounce can water chestnuts, rinsed and drained -
16 ounces frozen stir-fry vegetables or mixed vegetables, thawed -
1 cup lite coconut milk -
2 teaspoons mild curry powder
Directions
-
Prepare the pasta using the package directions, omitting the salt. Drain well in a colander. Cover to keep warm. -
Lightly spray a large skillet with cooking spray. Cook the basil leaves over high heat for 1 minute, or until wilted. (If using dried basil, add with the chicken.) Cook the chicken for 5 minutes, or until browned, stirring occasionally to turn and break up the pieces. -
Stir in the water chestnuts and vegetables. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until heated through. -
Stir in the coconut milk and curry powder. Cook for 1 minute, or until just warmed. Remove from the heat. Add the pasta, stirring to combine.
Cooking Tip: If you like spicy food, stir in a dash of cayenne or crushed red pepper flakes.
Keep it Healthy: Lite coconut milk has about 60% fewer calories and about 70% less saturated fat compared to regular coconut milk.
Tip: Use the canned lite coconut milk in the ethnic section of your grocery store rather than the refrigerated coconut milk found in the dairy aisle, which is a beverage. Be sure to shake the can before opening it because the coconut milk will have separated.
