BANG BANG PASTA

BANG BANG PASTA
This bang bang pasta is ready in about 30 minutes with a no-cook sauce that is addictive and easy to make.
If you’ve already tried my bang bang cauliflower, this sauce isn’t quite the same. To make it more suitable for pasta, the bang bang sauce is less sweet and more spicy. It’s a few extra ingredients, but it’s still super delicious. Mr. K actually preferred the pasta version over the dipping sauce.
I tossed the pasta in the sauce first, then spooned some additional sauce on top. I love my pastas to be extra saucy.

Pasta and chicken tossed with spicy bang bang sauce is an easy 30-minute dinner.
INGREDIENTS:
8 oz thin spaghetti pasta
1/2 lb boneless chicken breast cubed
2 cloves garlic minced
chopped parsley for garnish
FOR THE SAUCE:
1/2 cup light mayonnaise
1/4 cup + 2 tbsp Thai sweet chili sauce
1/2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp sriracha sauce
1 tbsp lime juice
DIRECTIONS:
Lightly grease a saute pan and turn stove to medium high. Add garlic and cook until aroma of the garlic comes out. Add in chicken pieces and cook until chicken is cooked through and slightly browned.
In a large pot, add water and bring to a boil. Add pasta and cook until done. Drain out water when pasta is finished.
While pasta is cooking, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, make the sauce by combining all ingredients and mixing with a whisk until smooth. You can adjust as needed.
Add chicken to pasta. Pour 2/3 of the sauce into the hot pasta and toss. Slightly warm the remaining sauce (in the microwave is fine). Dish out pasta onto plates and add remaining sauce on top. Garnish with parsley if desired.
