Preparation
- Step 1
Bring a pot of water to a boil (and salt it, if using spaghetti). Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Reserve ½ cup of the cooking water, then drain the noodles and return to the pot. Turn off the heat.
- Step 2
Add the peanut butter, butter, Parmesan and soy sauce. Vigorously stir the noodles for a minute, adding some reserved cooking water, a tablespoon or two at a time, until the sauce is glossy and clings to the noodles. Season to taste with salt.
- Step 3
Top with more cheese, if you’d like, and serve immediately.

Pro tip. Save the dregs of peanut butter jars and plop the hot noodles inside along with other ingredients and swirl or shake. Clean jar and tasty noodles.
What is more delicious? Eric Kim's writing or his recipes? I vote for both. How is it someone so young can be so skilled and so wise? "The man" mentioned in the article that accompanies this recipe is a lucky one...and destined to be a very well fed one too. This is a splendid recipe. With an ounce more pasta it worked to share, out of a single bowl, with the man I have lived with for 45 years.
As someone who suffers from depression and at times find it difficult to eat/cook, I’m so grateful for Eric Kim’s recipes, especially this one. I know some people roll their eyes at some of his “simple” recipes, but I sometimes need something simple with easy to follow directions. The end result is me feeling accomplished and eating something delicious/nutritious without feeling mentally and physically drained afterwards
SO GOOD! This dish cools and the sauce gets kinda weird so try to eat it hot. I also used angel hair pasta and it makes it rly creamy!
Made with cashew butter (bc allergic to peanuts) and nutritional yeast (for lack of parm). Absolutely DELICIOUS. People are hating on this... but to me it's like... the richest most umami instant macaroni and cheese haha
One of the worst mistakes one can make with their diet is eating just before going to bed. This high fat diet will disrupt your sleep patterns.
