Crisp cucumbers, crunchy carrots and peanuts, and pasta in a creamy peanut butter sauce – that’s this savory Peanut Butter Noodles recipe. And it’s delicious!
My friend Laurie, a devoted mother of two and generally cool chick, shared this recipe with me. She swears it’s kid-friendly, and I trust her judgment because this is a gal who very impressively made most of her baby food from scratch, and aside from that time she tried to sneak me disgusting sweet potato puree disguised as hot chocolate during her Deceptively Delicious phase, she’s never steered me wrong.
It’s also pretty adult-friendly – aka, YUMMY. Doesn’t it look yummy? And don’t you love my awesome vintage Pyrex bowl?!
I love the green flowers. Of course.
But back to Peanut Butter Noodles: They’re incredibly easy to make, and I’m psyched because there was plenty left over for a couple easy take-to-work lunches. Oh, and speaking of lunches, Laurie says the big draw for her was that you serve it room temperature, so it’ll be great for her kids’ lunches.
Here’s the recipe:
Thanks, Laurie! For this, I think I can finally let go of the Sweet Potato Disaster.
