Spicy Peanut Butter Spaghetti Noodles with Carrot & Tomatoes
There are some dishes that make me smile more than others, this is one of those.
At least once a fortnight, out comes peanut butter, a pack of spaghetti along with some chicken thighs and the lovely Mr G and I are in food heaven (I am a chicken addict).
Saturday night is when I like to eat these spicy peanut noodles while binge watching something on television, but if you want to sit at a table to eat them, I won’t judge
There’s no need to buy noodles to enjoy Spicy Peanut Butter Noodles, spaghetti works so well, once you’ve tried this dish there’ll be no going back!
A bit of spice from the chilli sauce, a bite of fresh spring onion and of course the peanut butter brings it all together into a stand-alone dish for a main meal, or a side dish to have with sausage, a runny yoked egg or, like me, a chicken thigh or two.
Go on, give it a go and enjoy the sweet life!

Tip Box
Peanut Butter – I love crunchy peanut butter for this recipe, but if smooth is your favourite, use that instead
Lime – A good squirt of lime juice adds a lot to this dish, but if you don’t have one, just leave it out.
Easy to make and easy to eat
