12 ounces spinach linguine or 12 ounces whole wheat spaghetti
2 cups broccoli florets (about 9 oz.)
2 cups snow peas, trimmed (about 6 oz.)
2 cups sugar snap peas, trimmed (about 6 oz.)
1/2 cup unsalted peanuts
1/2 cup creamy natural-style peanut butter
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 scallion, cut into pieces, white and green parts

2 tablespoons firmly packed dark brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, plus more to taste

Steps:

  • 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.

  • Drizzle remaining sauce over the vegetables; coarsely chop the peanuts; sprinkle them on top; serve.

Overall, this was a great recipe. The noodles were cooked perfectly and the sauce was delicious. However, I found that the sauce was a bit too thick for my taste. I would recommend adding a little bit of water to thin it out.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Otherwise, it was a great recipe. The noodles were cooked perfectly and the sauce was very flavorful. I would recommend using less chili pepper next time.
