Ingredient Notes

Peanut Butter:

• This is the main item of this dish. I used natural Peanut Butter from Kirkland’s brand. It provides a nutty, rich, sweet, and creamy flavor along with a little protein, which is good for us.

Sriracha:

• For a hot and chili flavor, use this item. Replace it with other spicy items like chili powder, red chili pepper flakes, or paprika powder.

Soy Sauce:

• To add umami flavor, use low-sodium soy sauce. You can substitute it with tamari sauce. It is perfect for gluten-diet followers because this sauce is made with gluten-free items.

Agave Nectar:

• We add agave nectar to balance the hot and spicy flavor. Maple syrup also suits well.

Lime juice:

• It adds a visual appeal to the pasta.

Noodles:

• Regular, Bucatini, rice, or soba noodles are all options. I make this pasta using spaghetti noodles.
