Pasta with Peanut Sauce...

This is yummy!

Pasta with Peanut Sauce

a recipe from Jennifer Raymond

12 ounces pasta (not 16)

2/3 cup peanut butter

1 cup water hot

2 Tablespoons soy sauce

2 Tablespoons vinegar

1 Tablespoon sugar or other sweetener

3 cloves garlic minced

3 green onions chopped (save some for garnish)

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes or pinch cayenne

While cooking pasta, whisk together remaining ingredients in a small saucepan.

Heat gently until smooth and slightly thickened. Add more water if sauce is too thick.

Toss cooked pasta with sauce.  Garnish with reserved green onion.

Note:  We used 16 ounces of pasta and it tasted great but was a bit dry.  Next time we're going to adjust the sauce for 16 ounces.
