This Asian-style sauce substitutes almond butter for peanut butter. The subtle difference makes a silky, sweet sauce that’s a treat over noodles and roasted pork.
Ingredients
- ½ tsp. canola oil
- ½ lb. pork tenderloin, trimmed
- ½ tsp. salt, divided
- ¼ tsp. black pepper
- 8 oz. uncooked whole grain fettuccine
- ¼ cup almond butter
- 2½ Tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp. rice vinegar
- 1 Tbsp. minced, peeled, fresh ginger
- 1½ tsp. chili garlic sauce
- 1 cup thinly sliced green onions
- ⅓ cup finely chopped fresh mint
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Drizzle oil in an ovenproof skillet. Sprinkle pork with 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper.
- Place pork in pan and bake (10 minutes). Turn pork over, and bake until a thermometer registers 155°F (10 minutes).
- Remove pork from oven and place on a cutting board; let stand (10 minutes). Shred pork into small pieces.
- Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain pasta in a colander over a bowl, reserving 2 tablespoons pasta water; keep pasta warm.
