Saucy Sesame Noodles
pasta / dairy free
My mom's classic Bolognese sauce I grew up eating when I was a kid. So hearty, comforting, and the quintessential Italian mother's recipe!
There is nothing I love more in this world than saucy noodles. Whenever I order Asian food, noodles are always going to be on my list of things to order. The saucier the better IMO!
These Asian-inspired sesame noodles are basically the base to my favorite ramen. I use soy sauce, peanut butter, tahini, sesame oil, brown sugar, and tons of spice to give my saucy base for these noodles. I love using ramen noodles because of how well they absorb the sauce and how pliable they are to twist on your fork easily and get a big bite. I top the noodles with green onions, red chilis for extra spice, and of course Momofuko chili crunch oil.
