Preparation

How to make Paprika Pork Pasta I had no rice hence the use of pasta. :( I’m such a rice person that I die when I don’t eat rice for more than a few days, okay make that more than 2 days, then you slowly see the life being sucked out of me and watch me curl up into a corner, rocking back and forth chanting “pretty pretty rice, pretty pretty rice”. Okay enough. So here’s how to make a slightly spicy pasta.

For the pork:

  1. Wash and slice the pork then throw them into a bowl with a teaspoon of paprika, a teaspoon of curry powder and pepper then mix thoroughly.
  2. Set aside, it’s services are not needed.. yet.

For the pasta:

  1. Boil until al dente, then drain and stir through some olive oil so it doesn’t stick together.
  2. Set aside, preferably not touching the raw pork. eww.

Now it all comes together.

  1. Heat up a frying pan and add in sliced onions and fry till they are transparent, not brown, then throw in the garlic and fry till fragrant.
  2. Throw in the diced tomatoes, lettuce and when the tomatoes have shriveled and become pulpy, throw in the pork.
  3. Pour in about half a cup of water, turn down the heat and let it simmer till a thick sauce has formed.
  4. Taste test it and add more curry powder, salt or sugar if needed. (I didn’t add sugar, because the tomatoes were rather ripe and a tad sweet already, you can add fresh chillies if you like it more spicy too)
  5. Put in the pan and mix throughly.
  6. Put it in a pretty bowl like mine and then serve.

My friend wanted to put cheese on it because it’s a pasta, i’m not sure how that would turn out though. This would be a “red” curry, not thai style but just the ingredients used just make it reddish. Next recipe i’ll be using green curry. Haha. I hate it when I run out of rice.
