For those nights when you need dinner on the table quick, recipes like this are hard to beat. Faster than takeout, you and your family will love these noodles.
For the sauce, I use crunchy peanut butter but if you prefer go ahead and use creamy and garnish with chopped peanuts. Doesn't matter, whatever you prefer! Also the saltiness from the dish comes from the soy sauce. Start with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce then work your way up to the desired saltiness you like. For the pasta, whole wheat tastes great and spaghetti squash is a great compliment to the sauce as well.
