📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fusilli pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. While the pasta is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Cut the broccoli into small florets, slice the red bell pepper into thin strips, julienne the carrot, and trim the ends of the snow peas.

3. Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

4. Add the broccoli, red bell pepper, carrot, and snow peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

5. In a small bowl, whisk together coconut milk, soy sauce, red curry paste, lime juice, and brown sugar to make the Thai sauce.

6. Pour the Thai sauce into the skillet with the vegetables. Stir well to combine and let simmer for 2-3 minutes to heat through and meld flavors.

7. Add the cooked fusilli pasta to the skillet. Toss everything together to evenly coat the pasta with the sauce and mix in the vegetables.

8. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and crushed peanuts for an added burst of flavor and texture.

9. Serve warm and enjoy your fusion-style Vegetables with Fusilli and Thai Sauce!
