Ingredients

3/4 pound spinach linguine or whole-wheat spaghetti
2 cups (about 9 ounces) broccoli florets
2 cups (about 6 ounces) snow peas, trimmed
2 cups (about 6 ounces) sugar snap peas, trimmed
1/2 cup natural creamy 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
3/4 inch fresh ginger, finely grated
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup shelled unsalted peanuts

Directions

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.

Inedible
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I'm with the other reviewers who said they feel mislead by all the raving reviews. This recipe is great in theory, but the... sauce ruins it all. I just finished making it and am upset at wasting all that money on food that I had to throw away. Nothing I did seemed to save it. My boyfriend -- who tries and eats anything I make, even if he doesn't think it's that fantastic -- found this inedible and spit it right back out. I have to agree with his conclusion, and I can't seem to get the taste of rice vinegar and soy sauce out of my mouth. Those flavors were so prominent in the sauce. We ordered a pizza instead so we'll at least have SOMETHING edible for dinner.Read more

Disappointing Sauce!
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

The individual components of this dish are wonderful, but the sauce lacks character and flavor. I followed the recipe, but... would make quite a few adjustments if I made this dish again. Because I thought all green for the veggies would be bland and boring, I added sweet red bell pepper, which really helped with the visual appeal of the dish. That was the only change I made. The sauce, in my opinion, needs some ZOW. Up the ginger, lime, scallion, and heat for starters. Also, I expected more of an Asian peanut sauce, which this was not. I may try it again, but I'm looking for a GREAT peanut sauce so I may need to look elsewhere.Read more

Great Recipe with a little tweaking
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love this recipe. I probably make it once a week for lunch, but I tweak it slightly. I prefer to use garlic chile sauce... in place of red pepper flakes. I sometimes add 1/2 tsp of sesame oil and toasted sesame seeds in place of peanuts. Usually I'm too lazy to get out the food processor, so I just whisk together all of the ingredients for the sauce, minus the scallions, and then throw in chopped scallions with the pasta. I've also found that the sauce is still good without the lime. The lime really does add a little something extra, but sometimes I don't have that on hand while I generally have every other ingredient for the sauce in my cupboard or fridge at all times. The sauce also works great with chicken as a different spin on chicken salad.Read more

I would definitely make and eat again. I tried this substutiting Oriental-style rice vermicelli for the wheat pasta and it... was awesome. My whole family loved it. Read more

Gross
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I love spicy lime peanut Thai noodles. I followed the recipe exactly. It was disgusting. Not enough spice. Not enough lime.... Not enough dressing. Just peanut butter noodles. All green. Not enough color. Gross.Read more
