Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 small garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon dried hot pepper flakes, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon sugar
6 ounces spaghetti
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded, and cut diagonally into 1/8-inch slices
1/3 cup thinly sliced scallion

Steps:

  • In a blender blend the peanut butter, the soy sauce, the lemon juice, the garlic, the red hot pepper flakes, the sugar, and 1/4 cup hot water until the sauce is smooth. In a kettle of boiling salted water boil the spaghetti until it is just tender, drain it in a colander, and rinse it briefly under cold water. Drain the spaghetti well, transfer it to a bowl, and toss it with the sauce, the cucumber, the scallion, and salt and pepper to taste. Serve the pasta at room temperature.

Not a bad recipe, but it's not something I'd make again. The sauce was a bit too peanut-y for my taste.

Easy to follow recipe, delicious results. I used a bit less chili sauce to make it less spicy, and it was still plenty flavorful. Will definitely make this again!
