Spaghetti threaded in Sausages in Coconut sauce

Coconut rice is one of my favorite dishes.Paired with coleslaw and dodo,I will just watch helplessly as my diet plan falls through…helpless indeed 🙂

There is something about the aroma of coconut milk with onion that just gets me. So yesterday for lunch I decided to try something with spaghetti and coconut milk, hoping it gives me the same feeling as the rice. Well it did not at the end. It was a different dish that I also liked , with no plans to replace with the rice. I like to use natural foods as much as possible which is why I  make my coconut milk from scratch. I find the texture You may decide to use the canned version.

Some fun  twist I brought to the dish is the threading of spaghetti in the sausage so the spaghetti is not all over the plate. I found it also makes  for nice presentation. Isn’t it said that the eyes eat before the mouth?

It was interesting eating up the  pasta strands  and being ‘rewarded’ with the sausage just before the strands finishes  🙂

I call this fun eating. Enjoy my offering.
