Thai Peanut Pasta

Rice Noodles For The Win... This Dinner Is Awesome!

We have been on a quest to change things up in our dinners since I began my journey with going gluten free. We have a meal plan chalked full with new recipes this week. This one was too great not to share. I loved how sweet it was. My husband was not a huge fan but it was a hit with my little one. He was surprised that pasta could taste like peanut butter ;) This one is very filling. You could include chicken with it but I left it out this time. 

Here is what you will need:

Ingredients

• 1 package of rice noodles
• 2 tablespoons chopped green onion, or regular onion
• 1 tablespoon of organic butter
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil 
• 2 tablespoons of organic chicken broth (or water), plus additional 1-2 tablespoons if needed (if the sauce is too thick).
• 3 tablespoons of crunchy organic peanut butter
• 1 tablespoon liquid aminos 
• 1 teaspoon organic apple cider vinegar (BRAGGS is a great brand) 
• 2 teaspoons organic pure maple syrup
• 1-2 teaspoons Sriracha if you would like it to have a spicy flavor. I left it out for mine. 
• Use peanuts on top for a garnish
