Peanut Butter Pasta

This is probably the dinner that my kids love the most of everything I have ever made. Not only is this a super easy and quick meal it is made of ingredients that are almost always on hand and nothing in it is expensive so it is great for those days when the wallet is a little lacking.  It is truly a satisfying meatless dinner too and depending on your pasta choice a vegan one too.I hope you will enjoy this as much as we and it will find its way to your dinner table on a regular basis too.
 

Peanut Butter Pasta

2/3 cup apple juice
1/2 cup peanut butter
2 Tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
dash of Tabasco sauce

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
chopped peanuts if desired

1 lb of your favorite pasta, cooked 

In a small saucepan, combine all the ingredients except the cilantro, 

chopped peanut and pasta; mix well. ( a wire whisk really works best here)

Cook over medium-low heat for 3 to 4 minutes or until mixture is 
melted and smooth, stirring frequently. Stir in cilantro just 
before serving. 

Serve over cooked pasta. 
Top with chopped peanuts

I wanted to mention here also that recipe is very forgiving. If for instance you don't 

have apple juice on hand, I have made this with: chicken broth, water and even white 

wine in place of the apple juice. If need be you can use powdered ginger in place of 

the fresh but in this case you notice a difference. If you like spicy add more hot sauce. 

Use your favorite pasta just about any shape works great. I have also added veggies 

and cooked chicken to this a few times too.

You really can't miss with this recipe.

Enjoy
