I adore peanut sauce, and this is an excellent one, creamy with a touch of spice, the peanut butter not too evident. I loved the flavours of lime coming through, I could have (and did sneak some) eaten all this with a spoon, all by myself! :) Bowing to civilisation, though, I sauteed some tofu cubes in sesame oil and a little chilli-garlic paste, I added some frozen peas to the simmering peanut sauce, and served the whole lot over chinese egg noodles. Oh man, sooo good! Made for PAC Fall 2009, thank you, Quistis!

I always use Barilla Plus Pasta which is wheat pasta when ever I make a pasta dish and low fat or fat free everything. I also use Olive oil and garlic (LOVE garlic) in virtually everything i make!
