Spaghettini is a type of pasta that is similar to spaghetti but slightly thinner in diameter. The name "spaghettini" is derived from the Italian word "spaghetti," which means "little strings" or "thin strings." It is a popular variety of pasta commonly found in Italian cuisine.
Like spaghetti, spaghettini is made from durum wheat semolina and water, and it typically has a long, cylindrical shape. It is often served with a variety of sauces, and can be paired with a wide range of ingredients like meat, seafood, vegetables, and cheese.

1. Cook the Golden Penny spaghettini in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a separate large skillet or pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions, garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until the onions are soft and translucent.
3. Stir in the sliced bell peppers, carrots, and cabbage. Cook for a few minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp.
4. In a bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, vegetable or chicken broth, tomato paste, ground cumin, ground coriander, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper until well combined.
5. Pour the peanut sauce mixture over the vegetables in the skillet. Stir well to combine and bring the sauce to a simmer. Let it cook for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.
