2 green onions, finely sliced

WOW, what a great recipe! Though, for those who are wusses when it comes to spicy hot you may want to cut back by half. I am and I will next time. But darn, these are just about the best noodles I have ever had! I doubled the tahini based on another reviewers suggestion and I used the cabernet because I thought I had sherry but didn't. Sherry will definitely be perfect in this though. I made the one batch and we chowed, a second batch of pasta is cooking now so we have some for lunch this week!

Another winner from Lennie! I could really get addicted to these noodles. I used curly spirals instead of spaghetti, and they seemed to hold the dressing well. I also added a touch more ginger and a bit more tahini than called for, and it was a major taste explosion! I am going to make this often! Thanks Lennie, I adore your recipes!

Easy great recipe! I modified it a little — added some crushed red pepper flakes (not spicy enough for me), used organic crunchy peanut butter in place of the tahini, a nice cabernet in place of the sherry & very thin asian rice noodles vs. spaghetti. Turned out superb!
