  • ½ cup Tahini sesame paste
  • ½ cup smooth Peanut butter
  • ½ cup good Soy sauce
  • ¼ cup dry sherry

Method

  1. Place the garlic and ginger in a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Add the vegetable oil, tahini, peanut butter, soy sauce, sherry, sherry vinegar, honey, chili oil, sesame oil, and ground peppers. Puree the sauce.
  2. Add a splash of oil to a large pot of boiling salted water and cook the spaghetti al dente.

Serve warm or at room temperature. The remaining sauce may be added, as needed, to moisten the pasta.
