Spaghetti in Peanut Sauce

There are so many short videos on Pinterest showing some kind of pasta sauces. I watch sometimes and an idea sticks. But when I think about cooking some of them, I rarely find the videos again. 



I wing it then, but the results are mostly great. In the moment there are a lot of interesting pasta sauces online. All of them are for a very quick meal.



Recipe:

100 g spaghetti, 2 tbsp butter, 1 tbsp sesame oil

1 medium hot chili, 1 spring onion, 1 garlic clove

4 tbsp dark soy sauce, 2 tbsp mirin, 3 ladles starchy pasta water

1 tsp sesame seeds, 3 tsp peanut butter

3 tbsp unsalted roasted peanuts 



Cook the pasta in just a little salted water to get good starchy water for your sauce.

Chop spring onion, garlic and chili. Melt butter and add sesame oil. Fry that first.



Add soy sauce, Mirin, peanut butter and sesame seeds. Let it cook 2 min, then add a bit starchy pasta water to loosen the sauce. Drain the pasta and stir it well in the sauce. Finish with peanuts and some onion greens.
