After reading the reviews i decided to give the receipe a go, keeping in mind it's peanutty flavour which i love anyway! I did as one suggestion said added garlic, just used veggies from the fridge, ie broccoli, red onion, peppers & spinach. Used water instead of broth, at least 1 cup in the end and a more flatter shaped pasta. Finally it was cooked BBQ'd chicken that went in and the final result i must say was fantastic. My boyfriend is a chef and he loved it, and inspired him for a new menu idea at his restaurant!! Well done Holly :) Read More

This dish has potential but made exact to the recipe it had problems. the sauce is too thick too much PB not enough other flavors. the bean sprouts turn to mush and clump together. I won't be making this dish again. Read More

I thoght it was a nice recipe. However a little thick. I recommend adding 1/3 cup coconut milk an additional 1/4 cup chicken broth and Linguini instead of angel hair. That would make it a 5 star Read More

If you like peanut sauces this is perfect. I used more garlic & called for and it turned out beautifully. I also made this a delicious vegetarian dish by eliminating the chicken & using a bag of frozen stir-fry vegetables. It was so flavorful I didn't miss the meat!! Read More

Very good. I scaled this back to 2 servings (just me tonight) and added red pepper flakes and a little sesame oil to the noodles. The sauce was a little thick but very nice. Thanks! Read More

WAY too much peanut butter...nice idea though & I will probably try it again just make adjustments on the peanut butter. I also added some rice wine vinegar little extra chicken broth. Oh well gotta break some eggs to make an omelet. Happy cooking! Read More

Even tho I added more seasonings and a bit of vinegar we thought this was very good. Due to peanut allergies I used soy nut butter and just a hint of cayenne. Didn't have any angel hair so I tossed the sauce with whole wheat rotini I had on hand. Also added a bunch of leftover vegies that were begging to be used. Delicious and thanks Holly! Read More
