Indian-Spiced Coconut Curry Pasta

This Indian-Spiced Coconut Curry Pasta is a quick and easy weeknight meal that's packed with flavor. The combination of warm spices, creamy coconut milk, and al dente pasta is sure to please everyone at the table.

I first had this dish at a friend's house a few years ago, and I've been making it ever since. It's one of those dishes that's so easy to make, but it always turns out perfectly. I love the way the spices bloom in the coconut milk, and the pasta cooks up perfectly in the creamy sauce. It's the perfect comfort food for a cold night.
