A little peanut butter and a sprinkling of peanuts give this side dish plenty of flavor. While red pepper flakes offer a little kick, brown sugar balances it out with a hint of sweet. -Mitzi Sentiff of Annapolis, Maryland

A tasty and vegetarian-friendly dish! I used whole grain pasta and added tofu for extra protein. Turned out great!

Amazing flavors with Fusilli pasta! The bell peppers and snow peas stayed crispy and colorful after cooking. This will now be in our regular dinner rotation!
