These Sesame Peanut Noodles are my favorite quick comfort food. In just 15 minutes, you can have chewy pasta tossed in a creamy, sweet, and slightly spicy peanut sauce. They're great hot or cold and make a perfect lunch or side dish.

Notes

Note: I added some cooked chicken breast tenders to this dish to add some protein. If your counting points, please allow for what chicken you add to the dish.

Update: I have made this and added chopped cilantro and chili pepper flakes to the mixture since my first posting. If you are a cilantro lover, then the addition will take this recipe over the top for you without added points!
