FEATURED RECIPE
Spicy Sesame Pasta Salad
It's a Shore Thing...Culinary Favorites From Chicago's North Shore
Junior League of Evanston North Shore 

1 1/4 pounds rotelle pasta
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 cup teriyaki sauce
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup sesame oil
1/4 cup sesame toasted sesame seeds
1/4 cup chopped green onions
 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
 3 to 4 dashes crushed red pepper
1/4 cup soy sauce

Bring water to boil, add pasta and cook 5 minutes or until al dente.  Drain and rinse in cold water.  Drain again.  Transfer to a bowl.  Add cilantro, teriyaki sauce, olive and sesame oils, sesame seeds, onions, garlic powder, cayenne, red pepper and soy sauce.  Toss gently.  Let stand 30 minutes or refrigerate overnight.  Serve hot or cold. 

I am not a big fan of pasta salads, but this is one of our regular dinners.  One of my kids will eat it and I can set aside plain pasta for the especially finicky eaters.  It is great with chicken and tonight it was the perfect side to grilled flank steak marinated in soy sauce, oil, garlic and ginger.  I try to only cook whole wheat pastas.  The Spicy Sesame Pasta salad pictured is a brown rice penne with added edamame for a little something extra.
