Calling out all Pasta lovers…..you are going to love this Creamy Coconut Pasta. It’s outstanding and absolutely desirable. It’s not Thai flavored but it tastes definitely out of this word. With only few ingredients and 20 minutes my weeknights are now super delicious [ vegan + oil free ] kiipfit.com

This is perfect to load up on carbohydrate along with some protein and lots of nutrition. However, I have used only good carbohydrates.

Finally, I have discovered oil free pasta recipe which I can make and yet flavorful.

I got a chance to try it on my mom and she loved it. Well, she loved it genuinely and not because I am her daughter or she is my mom. She herself is a fantastic cook and my biggest critic. So if she didn’t like something she tells me on my face and that too pretty straight forward.

Therefore, I can confidently share this pasta recipe with you all because I have her approval.

Coconut flour
Nutritional yeast
Turmeric
Oregano
Crushed chili flakes
Whole grain pasta
Sugar

Easy steps for Creamy Coconut Pasta

For this, I heated some unsweetened coconut milk (tetra pack) and folded in some coconut flour. Yes, you heard it right this pasta sauce is made from coconut flour.

Thereafter, I added nutritional yeast which enhanced the cheesy flavor of this pasta dish.

Later, I tossed in some turmeric powder for the color as well as for the nutritional value.

Afterwards, I seasoned this pasta sauce with some herbs and salt.

At this time I fell in love with the aroma and at that instant I knew that this pasta is going to be a winner.

Lastly, I folded in boiled whole grain pasta (preferably, fusilli) and served it warm. Voila!!!!

I personally liked it with few drops of lemon juice on it and the rest of the family liked it as is.

The thick creamy sauce with the addition of anti-inflammatory turmeric is definitely a must try.

      You may use your choice of flour. The taste may vary from the original flavor. With coconut flour this pasta gives a subtle Thai flavor without too many ingredients and spices.

    Thanks for the recipe I love coconut and can’t wait to try it! Is there any reason I shouldn’t use whole wheat flour instead of the coconut flour?

      Thank you Sarah for stopping by my blog. Yes, there is a huge difference in coconut flour and wheat flour. Coconut flour has a distinct taste and flavor because of which this pasta recipe taste more coconutnish. If you use wheat flour flour this pasta will taste like regular pasta with a sauce. Also, coconut flour is gluten free whereas all wheat flour are not gluten free. However, if you still insist on using wheat flour then go ahead with it and I would recommend to add some ground and dried coconut flakes into the sauce while cooking and before adding pasta to it. This way the taste of the pasta might be somewhat similar to the original recipe. Hope this helps.

    Is there any reason this sauce wouldn’t work for zucchini noodles or another non-grain noodle?

      I think this sauce would work for zucchini noodles or any other non – grain noodles. I have not tried it personally though.

    This sounds right up my alley. I love all the ingredients, and just happen to have all of them. I was recently out of nutritional yeast for over a week, and really missed it! I won’t let that happen again!
