How to Make Pasta With Szechuan Peanut Dressing
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente.
- While pasta cooks, steam broccoli florets until crisp-tender (about 3-5 minutes).
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together peanut butter and chicken broth (or water) until completely smooth.
- Stir in soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey (or maple syrup), minced garlic, and Szechuan peppercorns. Whisk until well combined.
- When pasta is cooked, drain well, reserving about 1/4 cup of pasta water if needed to thin the sauce.
- Add the cooked pasta to the bowl with the peanut sauce. Toss to coat evenly, adding a little pasta water if the sauce is too thick.
- Add the steamed broccoli and halved cherry tomatoes.
- Toss gently to combine.
- Garnish with thinly sliced scallions.
- Serve immediately. Enjoy! (Serves 4-6)
