2 tbsp olive oil

2 garlic cloves (minced)

1 inch piece ginger root (finely chopped)

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)

Directions

Begin by bringing a large pot of lightly salted water to 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.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, creamy and smooth.

Add the remaining pasta water if you want the sauce a bit thinner and even creamier.

and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

Enjoy right away!
