PEANUT-LIME PAN NOODLES

Leftover pasta doesn't have to be boring anymore. You can whip up these peanut noodles, then scarf them down in a flurry of pride over how easy they were to make, and how delicious to eat.

"I love both whole wheat and gluten-free noodles in this."

Notes: Noodles are standard linguini.

PEANUT-LIME PAN NOODLES

Ingredients: 2 Tbsp. olive oil, 1 tsp. minced garlic, 1 Tbsp. peanut butter, 2 tsp. soy sauce, 1 tsp. rice vinegar, 1/4 tsp. sesame oil, 1 1/2 tsp. honey, zest of 1/2 lime, 2 cups leftover cooked long noodles, sesame seeds, chili flakes.

Serves 1-2

1. Heat olive oil, garlic, peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey and most of the lime zest over medium heat, in a pan. Whisk the ingredients until they come together as a smooth sauce.

2. Tumble in the leftover noodles, stir to coat in the sauce.

3. Remove noodles to a plate, and sprinkle over extra lime zest, chili flakes, and sesame seeds to taste.

Tip: Warm the noodles in the microwave with a teaspoon of water for 30 seconds, they will mix into the sauce easier if they are not cold and stiff.
