Pasta with Peanut Hot Sauce

This is a very filling dish, with a lovely spicy tang. It's good with pea pods, or with cucumbers sliced thinly in the pasta after mixing in the sauce.

- 1/3 cup of peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons of vegetable (I like extra virgin olive oil in this)
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar, distilled white vinegar or white wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon (or more to taste!) cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 large clove garlic, mashed or smashed and finely chopped
- 8 to 12 ounces linguine, cooked

Combine all ingredients except pasta in a mixing bowl. Work them together until smooth and creamy. You made need a rubber spatula or wide wooden spoon. Mix with cooked and drained hot noodles. This is delicious hot or cold.
Serves 2-4
