Two Red Diamond Stars

 

I own at least half a dozen kids’ cookbooks. Most of them I bought for Heather, as the recipes are bare-bones simple; easy enough for her to follow on her own. She DOES use them, but not the way I’d expected. Mostly, she thumbs through them to find a dish she likes, then leave the book open on the counter as a not-so-subtle hint she’d like ME to make it. Now. Here’s the recipe “we” cooked Monday:

 

Oodles of Noodles

 

16 ounces uncooked spaghetti

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

1 tablespoon sesame oil

2 tablespoons soy sauce

4 tablespoons water

1 tablespoon honey

A dash of hot sauce (We like Cholula.)

Toasted sesame seeds

 

Cook spaghetti as directed on package. While it cooks, whisk together peanut butter, oil, soy sauce, water, honey and hot sauce on a large bowl. Drain cooked spaghetti and toss in bowl with peanut sauce. Makes 4 servings.
