Ingredients

• 300 g Tagliatelle pasta
• 300 g Chicken breast
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 small, finely chopped Onion
• 3 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 tbsp, grated Fresh ginger
• 3 tbsp Korma curry paste
• 400 ml Coconut milk
• 150 ml Heavy cream
• 150 ml Chicken stock
• 100 g Frozen peas
• 50 g Cashew nuts
• 2 tbsp, chopped Fresh cilantro (coriander)
• 1 tsp (to taste) Salt
• 0.5 tsp (to taste) Black pepper
• 1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the tagliatelle pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.

Step 2

While the pasta cooks, cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season lightly with salt and pepper.

Step 3

In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pan, add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Then, add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the korma curry paste, cooking for 1-2 minutes to release its aroma. Gradually add the coconut milk, heavy cream, and chicken stock, stirring to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

Return the cooked chicken to the pan, along with the frozen peas and cashew nuts. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Add the cooked tagliatelle to the pan, tossing well to coat the pasta evenly in the creamy korma sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water to loosen it to your desired consistency.

Step 8

Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Add the fresh lemon juice and give everything a final stir.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately. Enjoy your Creamy Korma Chicken Tagliatelle!
