Last night, I wanted something peanut-y for dinner. At the same time something not too heavy in the tummy. And something that's quick and easy to make. And healthy...somewhat..So I do a quick glance around the pantry and I see some Peanut Butter and whole grain spaghetti pasta. So I throw this quick pasta together in less than 10 minutes and it turned out quite yummy.
Prep Time: 10 minutes (includes pasta cook time)
Serves: 2
Ingredients: Spaghetti - 1/2 package (so around 7 oz??), Peanut Butter - 1/3 cup, Soy sauce - 2-3 Tbsps, Honey - 1.5 Tbsp, Hot water - 1/2 cup, Ginger - 1/2 inch , Red chilli flakes - 1 tsp, Toasted Sesame seeds - 2 Tbsps
Cook Away..
> Cook the Spaghetti according to the instructions on the package (The whole grain variety takes about 7-8 minutes to al-dente, so it's more than enough time to make the sauce)
> In a mixing bowl, add the peanut butter, soy sauce and hot water and whisk thoroughly until all the ingredients combine into a smooth creamy paste
> Now add the honey, red chilli flakes and grate the ginger on top and whisk some more
> Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and fold gently until all the sauce sticks to the pasta
> Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and serve hot!
My Thoughts..
> I didn't have any green onions on hand, but adding sliced green onions or bean sprouts will add that crunch to this pasta
> You can skip the chilli flakes if you don't want any heat in the dish
Enjoy!
