One Pot Thai Pasta Ingredients

Using a long pasta helps soak up the peanut sauce when enjoying this delicious dish! Chop fresh vegetables, add herbs, and all the sweet and savory liquids to this easy Thai pasta recipe. Only one pot makes this recipe an amazingly delicious dinner!

Linguine – Cook the noodles according to the package directions. Make sure to drain the linguine before adding the rest of the ingredients. Vegetables – Chop, slice, and cut the fresh carrot, bell peppers, and onions before adding them to the pot. Herbs – Ginger root sliced and cloves of garlic minced together for that raw flavor. Salted peanuts – Find roasted salted peanuts at the grocery store. You can find them chopped too. If you need to chop them, use a food processor. Chicken broth – Gives the pasta flavor and liquid to cook in. Coconut milk – Adds the creaminess to the noodles sauce. Peanut butter – Has a sweet, salty, and nutty flavor that blends well and will melt in with the other liquids. Brown sugar – Needed to balance and add sweetness! Soy sauce and fish sauce – These both have a robust flavor that adds to the Thai authenticity of this dish. Red pepper flakes – Make this pasta a bit spicy. Cooked shrimp – Pealed and tail on the shrimp when buying. Shrimp need to be precooked before adding to the pot. Cilantro leaves – These build aroma and will help give a boost of flavor. Lime – Squeeze for an extra zest of garnish!

Noodles – Substitute the noodles for what is best for your family or what you already have in the pantry. Spaghetti noodles, fettuccine, or thin rice noodles are best. They soak up the sauce when twirling. Penne and rigatoni are not recommended. Fish sauce – If you are worried about using fish sauce, don’t be! It adds a good flavor to the sauce but doesn’t taste fishy at all. If it really freaks you out, just use two tablespoons of soy sauce instead. Spice – To add more spice, you can add a whole teaspoon of red pepper flakes, instead of half, or at the end add sriracha sauce over top.
