My picky kids actually ate this! I took out the cayenne as I thought it would be too spicy (and I didn't have any on hand) and added a bit of garlic and it still needed some kick. I also reserved some of the pasta water to add as needed to smooth it back out from the peanut butter clumping up. - 8/5/08

It had ok flavor of peanut butter, couldn't even tell there was sesame in it. The other problem I had was that it didn't stay creamy. The pasta absorbed all the extra moisture, and I ate it within 5 mins of preparing it. I added a bit of my soy milk to my bowl and stirred it in and it helped. - 5/7/07

I love this; very clever using chicken-broth for the sauce's base. This recipe is so easy to make, and it's so tasty. I put my serving on a bed (2 cups) of shredded cabbage to help fill me up... or else I'd eat it all. The sauce would also be a wonderful dressing just for a 'Thai'-style coleslaw. - 7/23/09

I often make something like this using salsa for the water (instead of the cayenne) and lemon juice for the vinegar. I also add a block of tofu and a bunch of broccoli. In fact, I usually use broccoli instead of the noodles and serve it over brown rice. I look forward to trying your version today! - 1/1/08

Neither my SO or I are picky eaters, but thought this was terrible. We tried changing up the sauce after it was done and added broccoli, but nothing could help it. I love peanut butter, but it tasted too strongly of it and was too greasy. The broccoli ended up being the best part of the meal. - 5/6/10

Make this waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more healthy -- get rid of the whole wheat (and if you wondering why? read WheatBelly Cookbook intro -- go to their site)
INSTEAD: use healthy quinoa noodles OR brown rice noodles
You can also use organic Almond Butter -- gives it even greater taste (creamy or chunk - 4/22/13
