Thai Linguine


My picture really doesn't look appetizing, but it is delicious.

Nick and I went out to eat at California Pizza Kitchen last weekend because I found out that they started serving their pear and Gorgonzola pizza again!

Nick ordered a Thai Linguine dish (that looked much prettier than that picture) and I almost wished I had too.

I went home and found a knock off recipe online that is almost as good.

Give it a try, you'll like it!

(but you may want to wait til this whole peanut butter issue clears up)

Thai Linguine

12 oz linguine
4 T sesame oil
8 green onions, chopped
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 T fresh ginger, peeled and minced
1/4 c honey
1/4 c soy sauce
3 T rice vinegar
1 1/2 T chili-garlic sauce
2 c mung bean sprouts
1 c shredded carrots

Cook pasta, transfer to large bowl and toss with 3 T sesame oil.
Heat remaining oil in large, heavy skillet over med-high heat. Add 6 onions, garlic, and ginger. Saute until onions begin to soften, about 2 min.
Add honey, peanut butter, soy sauce, vinegar and chili-garlic sauce. Whisk to blend.
Simmer for 1 minute and cool to room temperature.
Pour over pasta and toss to coat.
Add sprouts and carrots, transfer to a platter and sprinkle with remaining onions.
