Ingredients:
- 8 oz. whole grain rice noodles (the kind you would use for Pad Thai)
- 2 Tbsp Thai red curry paste
- 14 oz. can coconut milk, regular or lowfat

- 1/4 cup basil, cut into thin ribbons
- 1 tsp sea salt

2. While the noodles are cooking, in a large bowl place the curry paste and half of the coconut milk. Whisk together until smooth. Add the remaining coconut milk and whisk until emulsified.
3. Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl and mix well.
4. Once the noodles are al dente, drain and add them to the bowl with the other ingredients.
5. Stir gently to thoroughly combine. Serve at room temperature, and have a sexy and scrumptious Valentine’s Day!
