Makes 4 servings for a light main course

 

1. Cook the linguine in a large pot of boiling water until done. Drain,

and rinse under cool water. Drain again. Reserve.

 

2. Place the remaining noodle ingredients in a food processor fitted with

the steel blade. Process until very smooth. Add 2 tablespoons of water to

dilute; the color will lighten.

 

3. Mix the noodles with sauce. Divide evenly onto four plates, and garnish

with snow peas, 1/4 cup of scallions, and the black

sesame seeds. Serve with chopsticks just for fun.
