Peanut butter and pasta, the combination might seem odd to you but its delicious. Peanut butter noodles are a quick and easy meal. Some of you might remember my recipe for Thai peanut chicken, well; this is very similar only with pasta added. The original recipe didn’t call for chicken but I require meat in my pasta dishes. The chicken, of course, is totally optional. Another thing that is optional is the hot Chile paste, if you like a little spice in your dishes, I would highly recommend adding it. You can add extra vegetables as well. This recipe is all about the sauce; the sauce is sweet, salty and has just the right amount of kick. For the noodles, you can really use whatever type of pasta you prefer (spaghetti, linguini, vermicelli, etc.). If you are looking for a different take on your typical pasta dish, be sure to give this one a try. Enjoy.

Bobby I made this last night... I was browsing your site and since this sounded like a very bad combination, I decided to give it a try! I'll admit, I honestly did not expect it to taste very good at all. To my surprise, this is now one of my favorites, I will definitely be making this again!

I made this last night (and added about 1 tsp curry powder) and served it with chicken satay -- it was AMAZING! Had it again for lunch and again! right now! After trying your Italian meatballs earlier in the week, I'm now officially hooked on your recipes.
Thanks for the great suggestions; I look forward to exploring your site more!
