Peanut Butter Noodles

This chapter ends with two child-friendly recipes, hence the smaller portions. If you think your kids would share some with their parents, you can increase the proportions of the recipes.

Recipe information

    4 to 6 child-size servings

Ingredients

8 ounces pasta, any short fun shape (spirals, wagon wheels, or small shells)
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
1 to 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce, or to taste

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Cook the pasta according to package directions and drain.
