I just love meals that are versatile,

and this is that kind of recipe.

The sauce can be made as spicy or mild as you like, by adjusting the amount of crushed red pepper you add, and if you like it with more of a kick add in some chili oil and heat the sauce up, and smell the spiciness!

Here is the recipe for the THAI PEANUT SAUCE 

Now grab a pound of pasta. I prefer spaghetti.

Cook it according to package directions.

If you want to eat this dish hot, heat up some of the Thai Peanut Sauce and toss it onto the freshly cooked pasta, top with some chopped peanuts, diced green onion, and add on some sesame seeds too!

If you want to enjoy it cold, rinse the noodles in cold water until they are completely cool, to speed this up add some ice cubes to the water and let the noodles soak for a few minutes. Drain all the water off the noodles and toss with some Thai Peanut Sauce, then top with the same yummy toppings as when serving it hot, diced green onions, chopped peanuts, and sesame seeds.

Make plenty because this is one dish you will WANT to enjoy LEFTOVER!

This is a really fun tasty version of a pasta salad that is unique. You can make it with elbow pasta for a party and it will get rave reviews!

 

When the noodles are hot they seem to absorb more sauce than when they are cold. So adjust the amount of sauce you put on them accordingly. I like extra sauce drizzled over the top myself, so I usually serve a small side dish of sauce!

What else should I add to these noodles?

Add more soy sauce if desired, and sriracha for some added spice!

Serve these peanut noodles hot or cold!

Add in vegetables, sliced peppers, onion, asparagus, broccoli, bok choy,  eggplant, carrots or your favorite vegetable!

    Mmmm, got the recipe printed up and will make it within the week. I love pasta and I love Thai!

    1. Can’t wait to hear how you like it. And now that I’m growing thai basil, I think some of that would be wonderful in there too 🙂

    Tasty – but wondering if I missed something…
    I made the peanut sauce with chili paste instead of chili flakes – but accounted for volume. There was just not any heat in the recipe. I liked the basic recipe, but will need to do something to increase the heat next time

    1. I haven’t used chili paste in quite some time, but don’t recall it having a lot of heat. If you like things spicy, you can heat up the chili flakes in a tablespoon of oil on the stove or microwave before adding them and that will kick up the heat. The other option is chili oil. I do use chili oil a lot and like the flavor. Be sure your chili flakes are on the fresh side, older seasonings seem to loose their potency. You can certainly add as much as you’d like to make it to your liking. (I have found that when I purchase crushed red pepper, the spiciness can vary too) You could always add in some sriracha also. We keep a jar of crushed red pepper on our table along with the salt and pepper, it’s funny, I’m always filling the crushed red pepper…so adding some on top of the hot noodles works great too.

  3. you must have read my mind, I was just thinking of that peanut noodles and will opt for making it rather than ordering it.

  4. This recipe looks so EASY, I can’t wait to make it.looks so delicious. Thanks so much for always having such great recipes. I love getting your emails.
