You might want to double up on the sauce ingredients and increase the pasta amount slightly. This sauce is better if prepared a day or even two days in advance and refrigerated, to allow the flavors to blend, but allow to sit until room temperature before using. This makes a great side dish!

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb thin spaghetti (use angel hair spaghetti or use spaghettini pasta)
chopped salted roasted cashews
3 large garlic cloves
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1/4 cup sesame oil
1 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes (or to taste I use about 3-4 teaspoons for extreme heat!)
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup salted roasted cashews
1/3 cup water
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • In a blender, blend the sauce ingredients until smooth.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Just before mixing with the sauce and serving, cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until JUST firm-tender (do not overcook the pasta) drain and rinse well under cold water; drain well again.
  • Toss the cooked pasta with the prepared sauce (if the sauce was chilled then warm before mixing with the pasta).
  • Sprinkle with chopped cashews and serve.
