A quick & easy pasta dinner, don’t shy away at this seemingly odd combination of pasta & peanut butter. These loosely Asian Peanut Butter ‘Lo Mein’ Noodles are a fun food you can serve for lunch or supper, that’ll have the approval of both the kids and the adults.

Peanut Butter 'Lo Mein' Noodles

The sons go crazy for these easy peanut butter noodles.

The first time I made them they looked at the ingredients I was pulling out with total confusion. I think I detected a hint of fear.

Sons # 2 kept repeating orange juice & peanut butter? Orange juice & peanut butter?! Like I was some sort of professional recipe butcher-er.

Ye sons of little faith…

One bite and his little peanut butter loving eyes lit up with joy! My reaction? A totally juvenille normal , ‘ha ha I told you so!!’ moment. (Everybody has those, right?)

      It was love at first bite! They fight over the leftovers and request it any time they’re allowed to choose dinner.

    These sound interesting. Might have to try them…could I use soba or some other gluten free noodle?

      Of course! The pasta is cooked separately according to pkg directions and then tossed with the sauce. Totally flexible! We’ve had it using regular pasta as well as authentic lo mein noodles if I have those handy.

    These were so good!!!! I ate them cold the following day. After an attemt to re-heat in the microwave, they got pretty dry. I might try reheating with some soy sauce next time.
    Thanks!!!!!

      With all my boys, I have never had any leftover- but knowing pasta I would definitely suggest adding a little extra liquid to them on reheating.
