  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 

  • 1 tablespoon Asian sesame oil 

  • 6 scallions, including green tops, chopped 

  • 1/2 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes 

  • 2/3 cup plain yogurt

Pasta Ingredients:

  • 1 pound spaghettini

Method

  1. Make the sauce: Combine all the sauce ingredients in a blender or food processor and process until smooth. Pour into a bowl, cover, and chill.

  2. In a large pot, bring at least 4 quarts of water to a rolling boil. Add 1 tablespoon salt. Add the spaghettini, stir to separate, and cook until al dente. Drain, rinse under cold water until cool, and drain again. Place in a bowl, add the sesame oil, toss well, cover, and chill.

  3. When ready to serve, transfer the noodles to a large serving bowl. Add the carrots and bell pepper and toss well. Add the sauce and toss thoroughly so that the noodles are evenly coated. Sprinkle with cilantro.

  Serves 6.
