Description

Sweet and spicy flavors deliver a contrast of flavors in every bite of this Thai-inspired pasta salad that can be served either warm or cold.

Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti
1/2 cup canola oil
4 1/2 tablespoons sesame oil
4 1/2 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 cup dry-roasted peanuts
1/2 cup chopped green onion

Directions

1 Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain and transfer to a bowl.
2 Combine canola oil, sesame oil, honey, soy sauce, salt, and pepper flakes in a microwave-safe bowl; mix to combine. Microwave on high powder for 30 seconds. Remove from the microwave and mix in peanuts and green onions. Pour over noodles and toss to coat.
