After having my first “Thai experience” a couple of months ago I’ve been eating and experimenting with Thai food on a consistent basis.
Thai Peanut Pasta is one of my favorite dishes yet and it worked out perfectly because I had extra peanut sauce from my PB&J Chicken Skewers.
I loved this recipe for 3 reasons:
- I hate to waste anything, especially food, so I was very happy to find another use for the extra sauce!
- This sauce was so amazing I will admit that I’ve actually been eating it by the spoonfuls since I made it!
- This recipe was super easy and only took 15 minutes to put together!
Ingredients (serves 3-4)
- 2 cups pasta (uncooked)
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 14 oz bag stir fry vegetables
- 1/2 cup Thai peanut sauce
Begin by bringing a medium pot of water to a boil. Cook the pasta for 8-10 minutes.
While the pasta is boiling stir fry the vegetables in a small skillet with olive oil.
Next, drain the pasta and add the vegetables to the pot.
Pour the peanut sauce on top.
Toss to coat.
Place in a bowl and dig in!
This dinner can be made start-to-finish in 15 minutes! Quicker than you can say “Thai Take Out” :-)
Save some for lunch the next day, yum!
♣ ”Add the Meat” Option: For the non-vegetarians, chicken breast can be added to the stir fry vegetables and tossed into the pasta for a delectable Thai Chicken Peanut Pasta.

Looks and sounds delicious! What did you eat during your first Thai experience?
Oh my gosh, everything on the menu I think! When trying new cuisines with friends I like them to order because they already know what the best things on the menu are and I’ll eat anything! The stand outs were the Peanut Noodles, Pad Thai and CRAB WONTONS, YUM!!
Gosh that looks amazing! Of course, I love anything that has pasta in it.
I’m with you girl! Can’t wait to afford a fancy pasta machine one day and make my own!!
I have a little Marcato Atlas that I got as a wedding present. I think it was about $40 at the time and it is worth EVERY PENNY. I LOVE making my own wheat pasta! (Sadly, I think they’re being listed for $70 now on Amazon.)
Oh wow, that’s not bad, I was looking at the big daddys that go from $500 into the thousands, I wasn’t sure if the ones under $100 would work, but thanks for the recommendation, I’ll definitely check it out!
Oh! I thought you were looking for one under $100! Yeah, I’d HIGHLY recommend mine. I’ve not had a spot of trouble with mine and it’s so easy! I have a spaghetti and fettuccine attachment and am perfectly happy with them. I am considering getting a ravioli roller attachment, but I don’t make ravioli all that often.
Awesome, thanks again! I actually already have a ravioli roller, which I tried to use after hand rolling my own pasta… it wasn’t horrible, but the pasta was definitely too thick! Can’t wait to check yours out!

all your recipes look all so yummy!
This pasta looks so good – say pasta and I’m there!
Thanks so much! I totally agree! My pasta maker was the best kitchen purchase of 2012 for sure!
