Spaghetti with pork and peanut sauce

1 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 pounds Ground pork; (not too lean)
1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
4 teaspoons Sugar
2 Garlic cloves; minced
1 tablespoon Minced peeled fresh gingerroot
4 tablespoons Soy sauce
3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons Asian; (toasted) sesame oil
⅔ cup Smooth peanut butter
1 cup Hot water
1 pounds Spaghetti or penne; (quill-shaped pasta)
1 cup Thinly sliced scallion greens

Directions

In a heavy skillet cook the pork in the oil over moderate heat, stirring and breaking up the lumps, until it is no longer pink, add 2 teaspoons of the sugar, the garlic, the gingerroot, and 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce, and saute the mixture over high heat until the pork is browned. In a blender blend together the remaining 3 tablespoons soy sauce, the lemon juice, the sesame oil, the remaining 2 teaspoons sugar, and the peanut butter and add enough of the hot water to thin the sauce to the desired consistency.

in a kettle of boiling salted water boil the spaghetti until it is al dente, drain it well, and in a large bowl toss it with the pork mixture, the peanut sauce, the scallion greens, and salt and pepper to taste.

Serves 4 to 6.
