Peanut Butter Noodles

This chapter ends with two child-friendly recipes, hence the smaller portions. If you think your kids would share some with their parents, you can increase the proportions of the recipes.

Recipe information

    4 to 6 child-size servings

Ingredients

8 ounces pasta, any short fun shape (spirals, wagon wheels, or small shells)
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
1 to 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Cook the pasta according to package directions and drain.

    Step 2

    Combine the remaining ingredients with 1/2 cup warm water in a small mixing bowl and whisk together until smooth. Combine with the pasta in a serving container and toss until the sauce coats the pasta evenly. Serve warm or at room temperature.
