Sesame Peanut Noodles – These healthy peanut noodles have a light and creamy peanut butter sauce and come together in less than 20 minutes!
I really enjoy a good bowl of pasta, as long as it isn’t spaghetti. Oh I do not like spaghetti. The red sauce, ground beef kind of spaghetti. It’s not my thing, never has been. But some linguine coated in a creamy peanut sauce? Ohhhh yeahhhhh.
This recipe is so easy and so quick. 15 minutes quick. Which is always a winning feature in my book. Oh and the fact that these meatless noodles are healthy and you can easily store them in the fridge and take them to work the next day for lunch is just a really nice bonus. I love versatile dishes like this one that can feed the whole family on a busy weeknight or be tucked away and used all week long!

I would LOVE a Blendtec! 🙂
OOH BlendTec! I’ve been wanting to give my Mom a blender for a while now. Seriously, she MUST throw out that dumb blender she currently has. It could be a Mother’s Day gift!!
This looks delicious! (& I have been dreaming of owning a blendtec for so long!) 🙂
I love Blendtec! My good friend has one and raves about it all the time. Her smoothies turn out amazing. 🙂 PS: This recipe sounds so easy – it might go on my late-night snack list.
I would love to have a Blendtec! My last blender motor died and I am without one right now and my kids are missing their after school smoothies. 🙂
