12 to 16 ounces pasta (any short, fun shape) or rice noodles

1/4 cup peanut butter

2 tablespoons warm water, or to taste

2 tablespoons maple syrup, or to taste

2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce, or to taste

Pinch ground ginger

Recipe



Slivered sauteed vegetables, such as broccoli florets, asparagus, thinly sliced carrots, bell peppers, scallions or red onions (optional)

Cook the pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk together the peanut butter and warm water. A maple syrup, teriyaki and ginger and whisk to combine. Taste and adjust the amount of maple syrup and/or teriyaki sauce accordingly.

If desired, add the sauteed vegetables and toss again and/or sprinkle with peanuts and, for the adults, scallions. Serve warm or at room temperature.
