- Be sure to hold on to a cup to 2 cups of the noodle water. You'll want to thin the sauce with it. We typically add ½ cup to the peanut butter mixture, but you may want to add more, for a thinner sauce, or less for a thicker sauce. The thicker the sauce, the "gummier" the pasta will get as it rests.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can bring the sauce together in a large bowl with a large whisk and some elbow grease. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
- The sauce can be made 24 hours in advance. Bring to room temperature before tossing with the noodles, or you can gently warm on the stove over medium-low heat.
- Leftovers will keep covered in the fridge (or on the counter) for up to 3 to 5 days.
