Step 1

In a large pot, boil water with some salt. Wait to put noodles in, they cook very fast.

Step 2

On medium/high heat, add 2TBLS of olive oil, let it warm then add 2 small diced shallots, sauté for 3 minutes until soft, not brown. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Add 2 diced cloves of garlic to pan once onions are soft.

Step 4

Add 1 small red pepper (chopped into small cubes) to pan with onions and garlic. Mix everything together.

Step 5

Add 1 can of coconut milk to pan, mix everything together. Add 1/2 tsp dry chili flakes if you like it a little spicy ????

Let everything marinate on med/low heat until noodles are ready.

Step 6

Now add rice noodles to boiling water. 5+ minutes. Cook until soft but not mushy.

Step 7

When pasta is cooked, drain noodles then add them to the pan. Mix noodles around in coconut sauce, turn on high heat for a minute if noodles need to cook a bit more.

Step 8

Add 3 cups of chopped fresh basil leaves to the noodles/sauce mix. Mix together on high so the noodles absorb all the juices from the creamy sauce. Add more salt and pepper for taste if needed.

Garnish with basil.
