Pasta is one of my favorite dish to make. Lately, I have been looking for dishes that do not include meat. Not to say I am now a vegetarian, but there are days when I am simply not in the mood for meat. This is an easy dish that is full of flavor without a lot of ingredients or prepping and can be whipped up fairly quick.
So let's begin. I started by chopping the green onions and cilantro along with shredding the carrots.
Then I lightly toasted the peanuts over medium heat.
Once the angel hair pasta is cooked, the peanuts toasted and crushed, the sauce created. EVERYTHING gets thrown into the pot with the pasta and mixed!
Ingredients
- 1 box angel hair pasta
- 1/2 tbsp garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup sesame oil
- 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 4 tbsp red pepper flakes or to taste
- 3/4 cup organic honey
- 1 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 cup green onion, chopped
- 4 medium carrots, grated
- 1/4 cup peanuts, toasted & coarsely grounded
- Salt & pepper to taste
Directions
- Cook the angel hair pasta as directed, drain and place back into the pot.
- On medium heat, toast the peanuts for about 10 minutes stirring constantly. remove and crush till peanuts are coarse.
- Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, heat the sesame oil and add the minced garlic. Stir and cook for about 2 minutes.
- Add the soy sauce, pepper flakes, and honey. Stir continuously on low heat for about 4 minutes.
- Place the pot with the pasta on low heat. Add green onions, carrots, cilantro, peanuts along with the sauce and mix till all ingredients are combined well.
- Pasta can be served hot or refrigerate and serve cold.
I hope you guys give this recipe a try and let me know who it turns out! Enjoy!
