1/2 cup natural-style peanut butter, such as Smucker's
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons rice or white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon chile garlic sauce, such as Lee Kum Kee
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups red bell pepper strips
1 pound snow peas
8 cups hot cooked linguine, about 1 pound uncooked pasta
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
Shave the carrots lengthwise into thin strips using a vegetable peeler; set aside.
Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the giner and minced garlic; saute 30 seconds. Add chicken broth and the next 5 ingredients (broth through salt); stir until well blended. Reduce heat, and simmer 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, and keep warm.
Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add bell peppers and snow peas; saute 5 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat. Combine carrot, peanut butter mixture, bell pepper mixture, and linguine in a large bowl; toss well. Sprinkle with cilantro. Serve warm or at room temperature.
