ingredients

¹⁄₄ cup sliced almonds
12 ounces whole wheat spaghetti
2 cups broccoli, tops cut into florets, stems peeled and sliced thinly
2 cups snow peas, trimmed
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces
¹⁄₂ cup almond butter
¹⁄₄ cup reduced sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon chili-garlic sauce, such as Sriracha
1 scallion, green part only

directions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Toast the almonds in a dry skillet over a medium-heat heat, stirring frequently, until they are golden, about 3 minutes.
Cook the pasta according to the directions on the package. Three minutes before the pasta is ready add the broccoli to the pasta pot. One minute before it is ready add the snow peas and red peppers to the pot.
While the pasta is cooking, make the sauce. Place the almond butter, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, chili-garlic sauce and three tablespoon of boiling water (from the pasta pot) into a large bowl and whisk until smooth.
Drain the noodles and vegetables, return them to the pasta pot, add the sauce and toss to coat. Serve garnished with the toasted almonds and scallion greens.

Mmmm, this is excellent! It is so full of flavour, has a great texture and looks beautiful, too! :) The flavours of the pasta with the veggies and the creamy Asian sauce go so well together and make for a delightful meal! YUM!<br/>I used green asparagus in place of the broccoli and snowpeas as thats what I had on hand and I also used toasted sunflower seeds to sprinkle on top, but other than that stuck to your recipe and loved it! THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this treat here with us, CulinaryExplorer!

Just tried this recipe, was worried it would be drowning in sauce, totally wrong and so blown away by it. Delicious.

Tried this last night. It was very good and very satisfying. I love Asian foods and this dish is going to the top of my list. Made as per recipe. No substitutions.

I followed this recipe exactly as posted. It was delicious! We loved the balance of all the flavors, textures, look, everything. I was a little concerned that there wouldn’t be enough sauce, but there was. It was great! Thanks to whoever posted this, it will become a regular meal for us. :0)

This past year I have started my photography business. It has been a lot of fun, and I hope to continue to grow with it all. I am an on location natural light photographer specializing in children, families, seniors, newborns, etc. It is such a great thing to be able to do something you love and still be able to be a SAHM which is something that is very important to me. And who doesn't love to be their own boss??? lol MY RATING SYSTEM: 5 stars ~ An incredibly delicious recipe and something I would make for company. Also the deciding factor from 4 to 5 stars is simplicity! If its super yummy AND simple to make it gets 5 stars by me! 4 stars ~ A great recipe and one I would make again. I may have made a couple small changes however to our tastes. 3 stars ~ A pretty good recipe, but not one that I would most likely make again only because I already have so many others to try, and our favorites to make again and again. Also probably needed to leave out a few too many things or add in a few of my own to get it to our tastes. 2 stars ~ Just not for us. We ate it, and tried it according to recipe directions, but the flavors or textures or some other aspect were just not something we enjoyed. 1 star ~ I wouldn't normally give a 1 star, but it would have to be a messed up recipe to get one. lol

My name is Alicia and I am a wife and mother. I am a SAHM and WAHM. I enjoy trying new recipes and can't wait to get my son into it as well. I really enjoy baking most of all, but I find lately I am getting more into cooking as well. And I dabble in food photography so I love to get pics of the dishes I prepare. I have found so many great recipes here and I just want to say Thank You! I try a new recipe almost every night. I have started submitting some I have around here and trying to create some of my own as well so if you try any of them I hope you will like them as much as I have enjoyed all of yours. I worked as a Barista for a couple of years and I love to mix drinks up and try all sorts of flavor combinations. I am thinking about trying to start up a cooking club in my area! I am really excited about it but I am waiting until my son is a bit older and we are in the process of selling our house so I wanna wait til that is done. It will be a meet once every couple weeks or once a month sort of thing and we will all get together and prepare new dishes planned around themes. I think it will be a lot of fun! I often bore my friends talking about food so much lol. I just love to talk about recipes and the different foods out there. Lately I have joined in on many zaar games and events and am having loads of fun! It keeps me rather busy just keeping up with the threads and making so many recipes lol. But I have found MANY wonderful recipes because of them. Here is a pic of my son Perrin I took the this January. <a href="http://s147.photobucket.com/albums/r317/j_welcome/pics3/?action=view¤t=_MG_0292-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r317/j_welcome/pics3/_MG_0292-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> This past year I have started my photography business.
