Sesame Linguine image

This is a nice side to an asian flavored meal, especially one cooked on the grill. You can find the chili oil on the ethnic aisle of your grocery store, or make your own by putting dried red chile pepper pods in oil and letting it sit for a couple of weeks. Prep and Cook time does not include the 8 hour chill time!
