For an extra layer of flavor, consider browning the ground beef with a touch of garlic and ginger. If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the sauce. Feel free to experiment with different types of pasta, such as farfalle or rotini, to create a unique twist on this classic recipe. The sauce can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Simply reheat before serving with freshly cooked pasta.

Follow The Directions
01
StepBegin by bringing a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add the penne pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until it reaches a perfect al dente texture, approximately 11 minutes.
02
StepWhile the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until it's nicely browned, about 5 minutes. Introduce the drained pineapple chunks and thinly sliced leek to the skillet, cooking for another 5 minutes until softened and fragrant. Pour in about half of the reserved pineapple juice. Season generously with curry powder, vegetable bouillon, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
03
StepStir in the ketchup and tomato paste until everything is beautifully combined, creating a rich and flavorful base. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the sauce simmer gently for 5 to 8 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together harmoniously. If the sauce appears too thick, add more pineapple juice to reach your desired consistency.
04
StepPour in the heavy cream and stir gently to incorporate it into the sauce, creating a luscious and creamy texture. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
05
StepDrain the cooked pasta thoroughly and add it directly to the skillet with the curry-pineapple sauce. Toss the pasta to coat it evenly with the sauce, ensuring that every strand is infused with flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Jun 24, 2025The sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, so I reduced the ketchup and added a squeeze of lime juice.
