Peanut Pasta With Punch
Being a vegetarian, I am always on the lookout for tasty and easy veggie meals. Recently I have started thinking some more about how to incorporate my vegetarianism into parenthood so I have my eyes peeled for kid-friendly veggie recipes.
No whether this one is kid-friendly or not I don’t know so if you give it a go let me know how it fares. It’s main ingredient (peanut butter) is a kid fave though so I think it has potential. The PB will appeal to kids and the spices make it appealing and interesting to adults (don’t worry it’s not too spicy though).
Let’s call this recipe:
Peanut Pasta With Punch
1 tbsp. Vegetable oil
2 tbsp. Finely chopped onion
1 clove garlic (minced)
2 tsp grated ginger root
2 sliced green onions
1 tsp. Chinese chilli paste
1 tbsp soy sauce
½ tsp ground coriander
½ tsp ground cumin
¼ cup smooth peanut butter
¾ buttermilk or vegetable broth
1 lb. Noodles (spaghetti, linguine, fresh Chinese noodles, whatever floats your boat)
Begin cooking the pasta in boiling, salted water until tender.
Heat the oil in a saucepan and sauté the onion, garlic and ginger. Then add the paste, soy and spices. Add the peanut butter next and stir until smooth and then add the broth. Feel free to thin out the sauce with more milk or broth to make sure you can pour it.
Feel free to add veggies to the mix if you want to make a full meal out this dish. I think Asian type veggies work best with the sauce, snow peas, broccoli, baby corn, etc.
Enjoy!!
