directions

  • Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and rinse under cold water.
  • While pasta is cooking, put broccoli in a steamer basket over a large pot of boiling water and steam for 3 minutes; add in snow peas and sugar snap peas; steam for 2 minutes more, until all the vegetables are crisp tender.
  • Toast the peanuts in a small dry skillet over med-high heat until fragrant, 3-5 minutes, stirring often; set aside to cool.
  • Make the sauce by pureeing the peanut butter, soy sauce, water, vinegar, lime juice, scallion, ginger, brown sugar, and red pepper in a food processor or blender until smooth.
  • Just before serving, toss the pasta with ¾ cup of the sauce; divide between 6 serving bowls and top each serving with the vegetables.
  • Drizzle remaining sauce over the vegetables; coarsely chop the peanuts; sprinkle them on top; serve.

  1. I have this cookbook too, and I love it. I made this the other night, and it was so easy to put together, and it tasted great. I omitted snow peas (because to me, they are just snap pea shells), added sliced red bell pepper, used onion powder instead off the scallion (didn't have one), used 1 tsp. ground ginger, and doubled the red pepper flakes. Oh! I also added about 1 tsp. minced garlic to the sauce. I know I made a lot of changes, but I feel this recipe lends itself easily to whatever veggies you like/have, and it's pretty healthy too!
