1 cup (8 oz) coconut cream blended greek nonfat yogurt, coconut cream

Staples

6 oz pasta
2 tablespoons oil
1 small onion
2 cloves garlic
to taste salt
to taste pepper
1 tablespoon flour

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add 6 oz pasta. While it cooks, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a second pan over medium heat.
Dice 1 small onion and mince 2 cloves garlic. Add to the hot oil and cook, stirring, until soft, about 4 minutes. Stir 1 tablespoon flour into the onion and cook for 1 minute more.
Pour in 1 cup coconut yogurt and 1/2 cup water, stirring to smooth out any lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and season with salt and pepper.
When the pasta is tender, drain it and add it to the curry along with 4 oz spinach or kale. Stir until the greens wilt into the sauce, about 2 minutes.
Squeeze juice from 1 lime over the pan, stir, and taste for salt and pepper. Divide between two bowls and serve at once.

Note Swap the greens for cubed tofu or chickpeas if you have them, or leave them out and stretch the sauce with more water and serve over rice. Keeps three days refrigerated; reheat gently with a splash of water. Serve with lime wedges and crushed cashews if you have them on hand.
