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.
Combine almond butter, 2 tablespoons pasta water, remaining salt, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, and chili garlic sauce.
Divide pasta evenly among 4 bowls; top evenly with sauce, pork, green onions, and mint.
