Cook pasta according to package directions in a large pot of boiling, salted water. Before draining, reserve 1.5 cups of the pasta water.
While the pasta cooks, prepare the sauce. In a medium bowl, whisk together the crunchy peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, and sriracha until smooth. Set aside.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and fry until golden brown and fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the drained pasta to the pot with the fried garlic. Pour in the reserved pasta water and the peanut sauce.
Toss everything together until the pasta is well-coated in the creamy sauce.
Garnish with sesame seeds, serve immediately, and enjoy.
Store leftovers in an airtight container refrigerated for up to 3 days; reheat gently in a skillet with a splash of water to restore sauce consistency.

Yes, mix the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, and sriracha up to 2 days ahead. Store in the refrigerator and thin with pasta water when tossing.
