Peanut Butter Noodles
Peanut butter noodles is a quick and cozy pantry friendly meal you can whip up in minutes!
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 12 ounces spaghetti. Thin or thick spaghetti will work as well, but I prefer the regular size.
- salt
peanut sauce
- 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 2 Tbsp Chinese chili oil, aka chili crisp (This is a mildly spicy chili oil with Sichuan pepper flakes in it.), I love this brand.
- 2 Tbsp water
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
- 1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced.
additional ingredients, optional
Instructions
- Cook the spaghetti in lots of well salted water according to package directions until al dente. Taste a strand to check if it's done ~ it should be tender but still have a little 'bite' to it.
- While the pasta is cooking whisk together the sauce. Taste to adjust any of the ingredients. If you'd like more spice, add more chili oil.
- Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Return the drained pasta to the hot pan and toss with the sauce. Add a little cooking liquid as necessary to get a creamy sauce. Add the cilantro and scallions and give everything a final toss.
- Serve topped with chili flakes and peanuts.
Notes
These peanut butter noodles can be served hot, room temperature, or cold!
