Steps:
- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the spaghetti, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
- Melt the peanut butter in a large microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl, 15 to 20 seconds (depending on your microwave). Whisk the honey, tamari, and chili sauce into the peanut butter, then stir in the sesame oil and ginger. Mix in the garlic and green onions and toss with the spaghetti. Top with the sesame seeds.

"OPEN SESAME" NOODLES
This is a very versatile and widely enjoyed pasta dish with chicken. It has an Asian influence with a very nice sesame flavor. I whipped it up one evening with a limited pantry and my little one named it. Joint collaboration on this one, folks! Oh yea, and the key is with the FRESH ginger.
