Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 pound spaghetti or linguine
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup tahini (sesame seed paste)
  • 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon hot chili oil
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup coconut milk
  • 3 medium size zucchinis (spiralized)

Method
 

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti/linguine until al dente. Drain and keep hot.
  2. Meanwhile, in a large serving bowl, whisk together the peanut butter and tahini until smooth.
  3. Whisk in the soy sauce, honey, lime juice, hot chili oil, toasted sesame oil, and coconut milk until well combined.
  4. Add the spiralized zucchini noodles to the bowl with the sauce.
  5. Add the cooked hot pasta to the bowl with the zucchini and sauce.
  6. Toss everything well to combine, ensuring the hot pasta warms the sauce and coats all the noodles.
  7. Serve warm or cold.

Notes

– Use fresh, firm zucchinis for the best noodle texture.
– Adjust chili oil and honey to your personal spice and sweetness preference.
– For a gluten-free option, omit the pasta and use only zucchini noodles.
– Ensure the pasta is hot when adding to the sauce; this helps it emulsify.

Pro tips

  • Use fresh, firm zucchinis for the best noodle texture.
  • Adjust chili oil and honey to your personal spice and sweetness preference.
  • For a gluten-free option, omit the pasta and use only zucchini noodles.
  • Ensure the pasta is hot when adding to the sauce; this helps it emulsify.

Experiment with added vegetables like bell peppers or snow peas, or top with toasted cashews for extra crunch. Enjoy this vibrant and flavorful dish!
