Buckwheat Noodles with Spicy Almond Sauce

Buckwheat Noodles with Spicy Almond Sauce by An Unrefined Vegan

From peanut butter yesterday to almond butter today. This is one of those classic recipes where you can mix it up – throw in whatever goodies you have on hand in the refrigerator – and have yourself a feast. I find pasta dishes to be especially satisfying and buckwheat noodles are one of my favorite kinds of pasta. The almond sauce is creamy and tangy and mixes perfectly with the unique, nutty flavor of the buckwheat. Make the sauce and prep the veggies ahead of time so all you have to is boil the noodles and ladle into bowls. Substitute peanut butter if you don’t have almond butter.

I love this recipe so much I included it in my 140+ recipe cookbook, Crave Eat Heal: Plant-based Whole Food Recipes to Satisfy Every Appetite, which you can purchase via Amazon, or right here on this site (I’ll even sign it!).

    Very nice combo with noodles! I did a “throw in whatever goodies you have on hand in the refrigerator” quinoa tabouli yesterday, not too bad!

    I just saw buckwheat noodles (and green tea noodles) at the store a week ago and tried to figure out what to make with them, once again..you have solved my dilemmas! This looks so good.

    This looks great. Spicy and almond — that hits two key notes at our house. The peas and carrots add great color.

    Can’t wait to see how the potluck is going to go down! I am still in awe of you for arranging it. So awesome! And those noodles look amazing, my almond/peanut sauce needed refiguring – I think yours has the secret missing ingredients 😉 Thanks Annie!

      Girl, maybe I should’ve sent you a FOOD package instead! Oh, hey – I found a bread machine recipe book I’d forgotten about! I’ll send it to you. Also has generic instructions on how to use a bread machine!

        yayy!! because my idea of figuring things out is by pushing a bunch of buttons until i get just the right combination which means that i probably would have butchered a loaf…or 5 lol. tyyy 😀 <3 I promise im not starving im just adjusting to being back at home haha

    That sauce looks just to-die-for! I want to put it on everything- not just buckwheat noodles (but I want it on that too!). I like all the veggies added in as well. Great recipe!

    I love soba noodles every which way, and can’t wait to try this almond sauce–my peanut sauce has also been in need of tweaking so this sounds like a great alternative!

    I have made two vegan dishes already this week, but it looks like another is in order. Plus, we need to invite a friend over, a vegetarian, before he moves to Ecuador! Perfect recipe!

        That’s a definite plus! And I’m sure it lets those yummy flavors really dig in.
