Steps:
- Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain very well. Transfer to large bowl.
- Whisk 3 tablespoons sesame oil, honey, soy sauce, vinegar and cayenne pepper in small bowl to blend. Season with salt. Mix half of dressing into pasta. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add bell peppers, peas and onion and sauté until just beginning to wilt, about 2 minutes. Add vegetables to pasta. Mix in peanuts, basil and enough dressing to coat. Serve, passing any remaining dressing separately.
Tips:
- Prep Vegetables in Advance: Save time by chopping and slicing the vegetables in advance. This will make assembly a breeze.
- Use Quality Ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients make all the difference in this salad. Look for crisp vegetables, flavorful herbs, and a good-quality olive oil.
- Don't Overcook the Pasta: Pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. This will prevent it from becoming mushy in the salad.
- Cool the Pasta Before Adding It to the Salad: This will prevent the pasta from absorbing too much of the dressing and becoming soggy.
- Use a Light Hand with the Dressing: A little dressing goes a long way in this salad. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Serve the Salad at Room Temperature: This will allow the flavors to meld together and the salad to reach its full potential.
