2 oz. De Boles (organic) spaghetti style pasta (only because that is what was opened)
1/4-1/2 cup sugar snap peas
1/8 (or less) teaspoon crushed red pepper
6 Tablespoons Pad Thai Sauce from Moosewood Cooks at Home
Olive oil to cover bottom of a skillet
Boil pasta according to pasta directions. I do not salt the pasta because there is so much salt in the soy sauce. Meanwhile, cover a large skillet with oil. Turn the skillet on medium and add the onions. Microwave broccoli and sugar snap peas 1:30 minutes to defrost. Add carrots and garlic to the onions when they are softened. Add broccoli and peas until warm. Drain pasta and add it to the vegetables. Pour the Moosewood recipe mixture (lime, ketchup, and soy sauce) over the vegetables and pasta. Stir in sauce and two pinches fresh crushed red pepper. Serve hot.
This was a fantastic recipe found in "Moosewood Restaurant Cooks at Home". I used a package of regular Italian spaghetti left over from another adventure, and the entire meal took two pots and one measuring cup for mixing the sauce. I did add a variety of vegetables to ensure a well-rounded meal. Paul was concerned about the spices I added saying they fought with each other. There was crushed red pepper added in the skillet. i topped the dish with a bit of chili powder, and the peanuts were salted and peppered. My mouth was on fire for a few hours, but I like it hot.
