Cook Pasta - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside. - Be sure not to overcook the pasta as it will continue to cook in the sauce later.

Prepare Sauce - In the same pot, heat some oil over medium heat. Add diced onions and minced garlic, sauté until fragrant. Stir in curry powder and cook for another minute. Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth, bring to a simmer. - For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the sauce.

Combine and Simmer - Add the cooked pasta back to the pot with the coconut curry sauce. Stir to combine well. Let simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. - If the sauce is too thick, you can add a splash of vegetable broth to achieve the desired consistency.

Add Cheese - Gradually sprinkle in the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring continuously until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. - Mixing in a bit of grated Parmesan cheese at the end can enhance the cheesy flavor.

Serve - Garnish the Coconut Curry Mac & Cheese with fresh parsley and serve hot. Enjoy the fusion of creamy coconut and aromatic curry flavors in every comforting bite! - For a crunchy twist, top the dish with toasted breadcrumbs or coconut flakes before serving.
