For Serving
Method
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil Once boiling, add your pasta and plenty of salt (I do about 1 tbsp) and cook according to your package instructions.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot, garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté until the shallot is tender, about 3 minutes.
- Add the bok choy and white parts of the green onion and continue to cook, stirring, until the bok choy is slightly tender, about 3 more minutes.
- Once your pasta is cooked, reserve ¼ cup of the pasta water and drain the pasta.
Add the pasta to the skillet along with the SideDish Creamy Sesame Dressing, coconut milk and ¼ cup of pasta water. Continuously toss until the noodles are well coated and glossy, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add the remaining green parts of the green onion, the cilantro, basil, and peanuts to the skillet. Toss to combine.
Serve and garnish with more chopped peanuts, cilantro, basil, salt and pepper, if desired. Serve with lime wedges.
