Awesome!!!

This is a very nice base recipe that is quite versatile. I used sesame oil instead of butter, about 5 oz cashews, & added broccoli, snow peas, baby bellas, water chestnuts! Next time I will add garlic when browning the cashews.

Too much butter, not my fav
Scott Harris
This is a very tasty side dish! I served it along with veal scallopini.

i liked the idea but it was dry. i added more sauce and also shrimp.

We really enjoyed this as a meatless dinner. I added some snow peas for more vegetables. It is a great one pot meal (plus a colander). I did add just half of the butter that was called for and used whole wheat pasta to make it healthier. This is a keeper for a quick and easy weeknight meal! Thanks!
Jordan Jimenez
This is a great recipe, and you can add veggies and chicken to it to make a whole meal. I think next time I will cut down on the butter and I’ll add some garlic. This is also really easy to throw together, and on a Monday night (or any weeknight) that counts for a lot!

I made this today and I made some changes but still thought it deserved a perfect rating. I added the garlic like one review stated. I also used less cashewsand less butter, added mushrooms and temphe. Very good recipe!
Luke Smith
Excellent as a side dish. I started by using a Tblsp. or two of olive oil,instead of butter,sauteed 2 cloves of minced garlic and a couple of tsps. fresh ginger. Then added about 3/4 c. cashew pieces. Tossed in the rest just to heat. Delicious!
Tiffany Johnson
Very yummy and easy to make. I used way less cashews and butter and it turned out great. I would recommend a low sodium teriyaki sauce because it was quite salty for my taste. Does that even exist?
William Reed
Wonderful Flavors! I used brown rice instead of linguine. Used about 3tbs of butter total and a splash of olive oil. Added 2 cloves of crushed garlic to sauteing cashews. I’ll definitely make this again. The cashews were wonderful!

I doubled this, only I used a package of coleslaw mix instead of more pasta.I did not double the nuts, as I chopped the cashews in my Pampered Chef hand chopper, which I sprinkled over the linguini. I also added fresh diced garlic in the “sauce”. Awesome dish. And very simple. My whole family loved it.

this recipe was great! i didnt have terriaki sauce so i made my own ( 1/2 cup soy sauce, one half cup sherry, and 2/3 of a cup of japanese rice wine, 2 tablespoons of sugar. let it boil first, then simmer at medium- low heat for about 15 minutes or until its reduced to 3/4 cup.) i also used WAY less butter, and about half of the amount of cashews. i made it into a meal by adding terriaki steak, and it was awesome! my parents also loved it.
Kelly Elliott
Wow, this was delicious and SO easy! 🙂 i fried up some chicken with it, since it was our main course, used WAY less butter to fry up the cashews (and used about half the amount of cashews), and added some garlic powder and black pepper to the teriyaki sauce, which gave it a nice kick! I served it with steamed brocoli. My husband raved about it, and we will be having it again! 🙂
Heather Ballard
very good but in my opinion too many nuts next time I will reduce by half
Destiny Page
Very good…..great flavor, easy to make. Nice for a week night.
Joy Ellis
I thought this was pretty good, but my husband didn’t like it at all. Probably won’t make again.
