Creamy Thai red curry udon noodles. Imagine a simple tomato sauce plus all the ingredients you love in Thai food, like red curry, ginger, coconut milk and garlic with the addition of udon noodles and a hint of miso. It’s irresistibly tasty, saucy, super easy to make and brings big flavor to your weeknight dinner. Best part? It’s ready in 20 minutes.

If you thought tomato sauce was reserved for pasta noodles, think again. This dish will change the way you see pasta night. The combination of springy udon noodles, spinach and a spiced tomato sauce, is as delicious as it sounds. 

A rich, slightly spicy coconut curry sauce and a shower of fresh basil brings it all together. The little hint of miso adds an extra layer of deliciousness. This dish is destined to become a family staple.
Let me guide you through the recipe with this step-by-step VIDEO.
