Number Of Ingredients 14
Steps:
- Cook the pasta in a large pot of water according to the directions on the package. Drain and rinse with cold water. While the pasta is cooking put the broccoli in a steamer basket over a large pot of boiling water and steam it for 3 minutes. Add the snow peas and sugar snap peas and steam for 2 minutes more. Toast the peanuts in a dry pan over a medium heat until they become fragrant, about 3 minutes. Set them aside to cool. Make the sauce by pureeing the peanut butter, soy sauce, water, vinegar, lime juice, scallion, ginger, sugar and red pepper flakes in a food processor or blender until smooth. Right before serving, toss the pasta with 3/4 cup of the peanut sauce. Divide into 6 serving bowls and top each serving with the vegetables. Drizzle the remaining sauce over the vegetables. Coarsely chop the peanuts, sprinkle them on top and serve.

- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your dish the best flavor. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.

- Make the Sauce Ahead of Time: The lime-peanut sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This will save you time when you're ready to assemble the dish.
- Garnish with Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro or basil, will add a pop of color and flavor to your dish.
