Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1 pound spaghetti or angel hair pasta
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes (depending on your heat tolerance)
  • 1/4 cup mild vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup toasted sesame oil
  • 6 tablespoons honey
  • 5 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves (chopped)
  • 3/4 cup chopped roasted salted peanuts
  • 1/2 cup chopped scallions
  • 2 tablespoons white sesame seeds (toasted)

Instruction

  • In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to directions and drain in a colander, but don’t rinse.
  • While pasta is cooking, in a small skillet over medium heat, warm crushed red pepper and oils until sizzling, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and carefully stir in honey, soy sauce, and salt.
  • In a serving bowl, combine honey mixture and drained pasta. Let pasta sit and come to room temperature, tossing occasionally so that the liquid gets absorbed.
  • Just before serving, top with cilantro, peanuts, scallions, and sesame seeds.
