Peanut Butter Pasta

recipe from Allison Holden

Ingredients

1 cup vegetable (or chicken) broth
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
2-3 tsp fresh grated ginger
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
3 Tbsp. rice or white wine vinegar
1/2 - 3/4 cup peanut butter
pasta noodles of choice- spaghetti is great
vegetables of choice (carrots, red/yellow/orange bell pepper, snow peas, broccoli)

Directions

1. Combine all sauce ingredients in a small sauce pan over medium heat, stir until well blended. Reduce heat slightly and simmer 7-10 minutes until sauce thickens a bit.

2. While sauce is simmering, cook pasta al dente, approx. 10 minutes.

3. Prepare the vegetables: steam carrots and broccoli (could be done over the cooking pasta); stir fry the bell peppers and snow peas.

4. Drain pasta. Put in serving bowl. Add sauce and vegetables, stir until combined.

Serves 4-6 (depending on the amount of pasta prepared)
