Ingredients
- 220 grams capellini, or pasta of choice
- 1/3 cup reserved pasta water, start with 1/4 cup
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped fine
- 1 inch piece ginger root, chopped fine
- 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1/4 cup soy sauce, low sodium
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp sriracha , or hot sauce of choice
- green onions, to garnish
- sesame seeds, to garnish
Instructions
Begin by bringing a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
Add your pasta and let cook until al dente while you prepare your sauce.
Be sure to reserve 1/3 cup of pasta water.
Chop the garlic and ginger really fine and set aside until ready to use.
To a large frying pan set to medium heat, add the olive oil.
Once hot, add the garlic and ginger and let saute for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
Reduce heat to low/medium and add the peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, honey and sriracha.
Let simmer, stirring often, until combined well.
Sammy's Tip: if the sauce appears to be chunky, continue whisking together, breaking down the peanut butter with the whisk or spoon until smooth.
Add the cooked pasta and 1/4 cup of reserved pasta water and mix together until well combined and the sauce begins to turn silky and creamy.
Add the remaining pasta water if you want the sauce a bit thinner and even creamier.
Dish up and top with green onions and sesame seeds.
Enjoy right away!
