1 tablespoon of tomato puree
Salt, pepper and sugar for seasoning
Cili padi, but this is optional
Some lime juice
2 tablespoons of Arrabbiata Spice Mix
Coconut milk
Meat of your spice, here we used diced chicken breast

Pasta of your choice , approximately 350grams

Method

In a blender, whizz up the onions, garlic and lemongrass in a bit of water.
Heat regular vegetable oil, and fry up the blended ingredients for 2 minutes, then add the turmeric, tomato puree and Arrabbiata Spice Mix.
Cook this for a few minutes, and add some water if it starts to dry out. Now we can add the diced chicken cubes, and fry for a minute or two.
At this stage, add the coconut milk, kaffir lime leaves and the cili padi (optional) and bring to a simmer.
Season to taste and add the lime juice.
Allow chicken to cook through and the sauce to thicken.
Finally add your al-dente pasta, mix well and cook for another minute.
Garnish with fresh coriander and fried onions and ENJOY!!
