Spicy Sesame Noodles

Submitted by hannahactually

"This recipe is from the New Moosewood Cookbook and is absolutely amazing. It makes a wonderful potluck dish because it can be eaten hot or cold (I personally prefer it hot) and is really simple to make. I prefer to use fusilli or gemelli pasta for whatever reason, but you can use any kind. :) It's also great with chicken or other meats."
