-
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped cabbage and onion, and sauté until just softened but still crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
-
Transfer the sautéed vegetables to a large serving bowl and set aside.
-
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta shapes according to package directions until al dente. Drain well.
-
While the pasta cooks, combine peanut butter, lime juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, crushed red pepper, curry powder, ground cloves, and minced garlic in a small saucepan.
-
Place the saucepan over low heat. Gradually whisk in the coconut milk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
-
Heat the sauce gently until warm, ensuring it does not boil. Remove from heat.
-
Add the cooked pasta to the bowl with the vegetables. Pour the warm peanut-coconut sauce over the pasta and veggies.
-
Toss everything together until the pasta and vegetables are evenly coated in the sauce.
-
Stir in the chopped fresh cilantro and basil.
-
Serve immediately while hot.
