A creamy and flavorful pasta dish featuring bell peppers and a hint of curry, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Adding a splash of olive oil to the boiling water can help prevent the pasta from sticking together.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell peppers, and sauté until softened.
Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
Stir in the curry powder and cook for another minute to release its aroma.
Toast the curry powder slightly to enhance its flavor.
Mix the cream cheese and milk into the pan, stirring until a smooth sauce forms.
If the sauce is too thick, add a bit more milk to reach the desired consistency.
Combine the cooked pasta with the sauce, ensuring it is evenly coated. Season with black pepper to taste.
Toss the pasta gently to avoid breaking it.
Serve the pasta warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Fresh parsley or basil makes a great garnish for added color and flavor.
