Peanut Butter Spirals

If you love peanut butter (as I do), this is a tasty, unusual recipe.  So good and so easy.  You can serve it with a drizzle of hot chili oil, if you are a lover of spicy things.

• 12 oz. uncooked spiral pasta
• 2/3 cup natural peanut butter
• 3/4 cup water
• 3-4 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons mild vinegar
• 1 scallion, chopped
• 1 tablespoon honey or rice syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon (or more) ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 1/2 cup frozen peas

1. Cook pasta.  Set aside.

2. Combine all ingredients except peas and blend until smooth.

3. Add peas and sauce to pasta and gently mix together.  The sauce will thicken on its own.
