How to Make Asian Peanut Pasta

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound of pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water.
  2. While the pasta cooks, prepare the sauce: In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 cup chicken broth, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, 2 tablespoons honey, 1-2 tablespoons chili garlic paste (adjust to taste), and 2 cloves minced garlic.
  3. Cook the sauce over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the peanut butter is melted and the sauce is smooth and heated through. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water until desired consistency is reached.
  4. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to coat evenly. Add your desired vegetables (e.g., 1 cup snow peas, 1 cup broccoli florets, 1 block firm tofu, cut into cubes). Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  5. Garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped green onions and 2 tablespoons chopped roasted peanuts before serving.
