Noodles made from peanut butter for those that know how to cook

I was watching a show on the cooking channel tonight.  Wylie Dufrense (from WD-50 in NY) has a Pad Thai dish made peanut butter noodles out of the following ingredients:

     Peanut Butter
     Water 
     Meat Glue (Transglutaminase) 

That's right, all Peanut Butter and protein.  Sounds like an interesting solution for WLS patients.  Anybody that knows how to cook have thoughts on this?

Sounds high in fat from the peanut butter.  Don't know what the "meat glue" is but this guy may be one of those "molecular" chefs that does a lot of crazy, cool things in the kitchen.  Sounds like a lot of work when you can find low-carb, high-protein pasta in the market.

I don't see the point.  Peanut Butter runs around 6 calories per gram, plain old wheat noodles are about 3 calories per gram.

So you're doubling the calories and increasing the fat, for what?

On the other hand, if one cannot tolerate gluten which is in most pastas, the peanut butter pasta does sound interesting.
I stopped eating red meat and drinking sodas and coffee and went from eating pasta 4 times a year to 3 or 4 times a week with only chichen and fish and veggies, salads, and rice.  I dropped 10% or my body weight but with each passing day, the pain crept higher and higher in my extremities.  After 4 years of medical "I don't know what you have but it's not . . . ., " i was finally diagnosed with celiac sprue.  Once i eliminated the gluten, i gained an additional 60% of my body weight.  And not matter what i do, i cannot move the scale downward.  I am gaining about 8 pounds a year.
the thought of pad tai with peanut butter noodles just sounded so good, even if it is molecular gastronomy.
so i hope if anyone does have the recipe, he or she will post it.
I have a sister and two co-workers who have had the surgery.

Taste ;-)... More than anything the idea seemed interesting.  Was actually made me think that it would be reasonably heavy loaded with protein.
