There are times when I cook that I like to pack in every vegetable and also the kitchen sink. And then there are nights when I just crave something simple. This is the latter, obviously, and it’ll take you only ten minutes to make.
The ingredient combo here is a little strange, but hear me out – soba noodles, sesame oil and good parmesan cheese all have a delicious nutty flavor in common. Basil and fresh peas are sweet which offer a nice simple balance. I love the subtle flavor of fresh peas here, if you don’t have any, just skip them in lieu of using frozen peas. And since there are only a few ingredients here, they need to be good ones – good cheese, fresh basil, good sesame oil, and good noodles.
I made this for dinner along with some salmon, but if you want to add more veggie protein here – go for it – add some edamame or baked tofu.
Save the leftovers for lunch the next day!
