INGREDIENTS

6 scallions
1/4 cup peanut oil
2 fresh long slim red cayenne peppers, stemmed and minced
1 fresh red jalapeno pepper, stemmed and minced
7 garlic cloves minced
1/2 cup unsalted roasted cashews, coarsely chopped
2 T sesame seeds
1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
1 cup coconut milk
1/4 cup water
Salt and pepper to taste
1 lb / 450 g angel hair pasta

METHOD

Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil to cook the pasta. Trim the scallions. Remove the dark green tops, cut into 1/4 inch / 7 mm thick slices and set aside. Mince the white and light green sections.

In a small saucepan, heat the peanut oil over low heat. Add the minced scallions, peppers and the garlic, the cashews and sesame seeds and saut� for 3-5 minutes or until the scallions are golden brown, being very careful not to burn the cashews and sesame seeds. Add the peanut butter and stir until completely melted. Add the coconut milk and stir well to blend. Slowly add the water, stirring constantly until well blended. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep the saut� warm over very low heat while you prepare the pasta, stirring often so it does not separate.

Cook the angel hair as per package instructions.

Just before serving, add the dark green pieces of scallion to the sauce and stir well. Drain the pasta well and toss with the sauce. Serve immediately.
