Pasta with an Asian twist. I know it sounds weird to use Italian pasta with an Asian sauce, but trust me it totally works. This is a great base to add all sorts of veggies and proteins too. I usually do it with snow peas, broccoli and tofu but feel free to experiment. If you are adding a lot you might want to increase the sauce a bit though.

I really like peanut sauces used in this way, and this version is very quick and easy with ingredients I always have on hand. I found it overly salty though....maybe just the brand of veg broth I happened to have, but I would suggest starting with 1/2 the amount of soy and adjusting to taste.
