Killer Noods

Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 lb long thick pasta I used bucatini. Tagliatelle, Fettuccini, etc. would all work well.
  • 2 Tbls neutral oil
  • 1 bunch scallions chopped
  • 6 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 1 inch fresh ginger grated
  • 1 Tbls red pepper flakes this will be spicy but you can add more or less, depending on your taste
  • 2 Tbls peanut butter
  • 1 Tbls sesame seeds
  • 3 Tbls soy sauce
  • 3 Tbls apple cider vinegar
  • 1 big pinch sugar
  • handful fresh cilantro chopped
  • pinch kosher salt

Instructions

  • Set a large pot of water to boil. Cook noodles according to package directions. Reserve 3 ladles of the pasta water.
  • Meanwhile, set a large saute pan over medium high heat and when hot, add the cooking oil followed by the scallions. Cook for a minute or so (until fragrant) then add the garlic followed by the ginger.
  • Add the chili flakes (remember that these are supposed to be spicy, so dont be shy...you can add up to 2 Tablespoons if you are brave!) and let that all simmer for a minute or so before adding the soy sauce and cider vinegar.
  • Add the peanut butter. Stir to combine and then add the sugar, sesame seeds and cilantro.
  • To turn this into a smooth sauce, add a couple of ladles of the pasta cooking water (one ladle at a time) until the sauce is emulsified and ready to coat the noodles. Taste before adding a pinch of salt.
  • Add the cooked pasta to the saute pan and toss until they are completely covered and ready to be devoured.
