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’ve always dreamed of owning a Blendtec!! My family loves smoothies and I love to cook. There are so many recipes that look amazing using the Blendtec! I hope I win but if not the person who does is super lucky!!
I love noodle dishes like this so much! I do like that plain old spaghetti too, though. I just love all pasta, I guess. I’ve never used such a nice blender…… plus I think mine is giving out, so this would be awesome!
I love Blendtec! =) It would be awesome for my smoothies. My little cheapo blender feels like it’s going to break when I put ice in it!
This recipe looks yummy and super easy! Can’t wait to try it!
