- 12 oz spaghetti or linguine
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 cups shredded carrots or cabbage
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 2-4 tbsp water (or reserved pasta water)
How to make Speedy Sesame Peanut Noodles
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the 12 ounces of spaghetti or linguine and cook according to package directions until al dente.
- While the pasta is cooking, prepare the peanut sauce. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter, 1/4 cup of low-sodium soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame oil.
- Whisk these sauce ingredients together until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add 2-4 tablespoons of water (or reserved pasta water, if available) a tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a creamy, pourable consistency.
- Once the pasta is cooked, reserve about 1/2 cup of the starchy pasta water before draining the noodles completely in a colander.
- Add the hot, drained pasta directly to the large mixing bowl with the peanut sauce. Also add 2 cups of shredded carrots or cabbage.
- Toss the pasta and vegetables thoroughly with the sauce using tongs until everything is evenly coated. If the sauce seems too thick, add a splash more of the reserved pasta water to loosen it.
- Taste the noodles and adjust seasonings if necessary; you might want a pinch more soy sauce or a dash of black pepper.
- Serve the Speedy Sesame Peanut Noodles warm or at room temperature. For an optional garnish, sprinkle with a few sesame seeds or chopped green onions if desired.
