This is a vaguely Thai inspired dish that I find pretty tasty. The key, at least in my opinion, is sugar-free peanut butter. You don’t have to buy fancy organic stuff, but try to stay away from sugar.

Ingredients:

1.5 lbs linguine, cooked

1.5 cups soy sauce (not dark)

4 Tbs peanut butter

2 tsp chili garlic paste

1 lb carrots, cut into sticks

4 jalapenos, deseeded and cut into sticks

1 Tbs oil

Serves 4

Stir-fry the carrots and jalapenos in the oil until soft. Add peanut butter, soy sauce, and chili-garlic paste and stir until it forms a unified sauce. Stir in pasta and serve.
