Recipe Introduction


Serve this as a side dish, or add some cooked shrimp or chicken for a main course. Look for the sesame oil in the Asian foods section of the supermarket.






List of Ingredients



• 1 pound linguine, broken in half
  
• 4 tablespoons oriental sesame oil
  
• 3 tablespoons honey
  
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  
• 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  
• 3 red bell peppers, seeded, thinly sliced
  
• 3 cups snow peas
  
• 1 large red onion, thinly sliced
  
• 3/4 cup honey-roasted peanuts, coarsely chopped
  
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
  






Instructions



1. Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain very well. Transfer to large bowl.
   
2. Whisk 3 tablespoons sesame oil, honey, soy sauce, vinegar and cayenne pepper in small bowl to blend. Season with salt. Mix half of dressing into pasta. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add bell peppers, peas and onion and sauté until just beginning to wilt, about 2 minutes. Add vegetables to pasta. Mix in peanuts, basil and enough dressing to coat. Serve, passing any remaining dressing separately.
