Ingredients

  • 1-inch - piece fresh ginger root, peeled and cut into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar

How To Make 478-second sesame noodles

  • Step 1
    Begin cooking pasta. Meanwhile, in a small food processor, pulse ginger until finely chopped. Add peanut butter and process until thick sauce forms. With the machine running constantly, add the remaining ingredients and process until smooth. Yields about 3/4 cup, enough to cover your linguine. Noodles should be drained, rinsed, and then drained again. Toss with sauce and, if you're feeling ambitious, add slivered scallions, cucumbers, and shredded carrots.
