Ingredients

6 servings

  • 1 ½ cups sunflower seeds
  • 2 (14 ounce) cans coconut milk, divided
  • ½ cup red curry paste, or more to taste, divided
  • ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro, or more to taste, divided
  • 2 limes, juiced, divided
  • ½ teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning
  • 1 (8 ounce) package elbow macaroni
  • 1 (8 ounce) package broccoli florets
  • 1 pinch curry powder, or more to taste
  • 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place sunflower seeds in a bowl and pour in enough water to cover; soak for about 10 minutes.
  • Mix 1 1/2 cans coconut milk, 1/4 cup curry paste, 1/4 cup cilantro, juice of 1 lime, and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a saucepan; cook and stir over medium-low heat until curry sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 8 minutes. Drain and mix pasta into curry sauce; cook and stir over low heat.
  • Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add broccoli, cover, and steam until tender, about 2 minutes. Season broccoli with salt and curry powder and transfer to a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Drain sunflower seeds and place in a blender with remaining coconut cream, remaining curry paste, remaining cilantro, juice of 1 lime, nutritional yeast, and sugar; blend until thick and smooth.
  • Spoon pasta mixture over broccoli. Pour sunflower seed mixture over pasta and stir to coat evenly.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until sauce is bubbling, about 10 minutes.
