Description
A delicious and nutritious main meal
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces spaghetti or linguine (I used whole grain)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
- 1 cup shelled edamame (I used frozen-no need to defrost)
for the sauce
- 1/3 cup reduced sodium tamari or soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the sauce. Set aside.
Prepare the pasta according to package instructions. In a large skillet, heat the oil. Add the red pepper strips and saute until they are soft to your desired doneness (I like mine crisp tender), about 8 minutes. Add the edamame and cook until they are heated through, 3 minutes or so. Stir in the pasta; remove from heat. Pour the sauce over the whole thing and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
