Pasta with coconut milk and broccoli

Pasta with coconut milk and broccoli

This is the most amazing pasta I’ve ever eaten. Frankly I was bored of regular white sauce and tomato pasta. This time wanted to try something new and saw this in one of blog sites  . Made my bit of variation to it and it came out damn good. It is very easy to make too. The subtle flavor of coconut milk in fact dominates everything else in the dish. I avoided adding tomatoes as I didn’t want to alter the taste much !!
