Peanut Butter Pasta

Okay...so the title may be deceiving.  While the husband and I do call this dish Peanut Butter Pasta, it's definitely not as gross as that sounds!  In reality this is one of our favorite dinners, and it is quick and super easy to make to boot.  If you like Thai food with peanut sauces, you've got to make this! 

Ingredients:
1 package Bowtie pasta
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
3 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp rice vinegar (available with the asian foods)
2 tbsp sesame oil (available with the asian foods)
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
2 tbsp brown sugar, packed




Mix all ingredients except pasta in saucepan over low heat.




Stir until smooth.




Cook pasta according to directions on package.




Combine pasta and sauce. 

Enjoy!
