THAI PASTA WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE



Thai Pasta with Spicy Peanut Sauce image

We love how the whole wheat pasta and crisp, raw vegetables blend with the rich and creamy peanut sauce. The addition of fresh lime juice really brightens the flavor of the dish. Some eat it hot, but my husband and I prefer to wait until it's closer to room temperature. -Donna McCallie, Lake Park, Florida

SPICY THAI PEANUT SAUCE



Spicy Thai Peanut Sauce image

This peanut sauce is very flavorful, with lemon, ginger, and quite a bit of heat. It's good with satays, stir-frys, rice bowls, or good as a dip. Don't be afraid to add more or less of the spices, just add to taste! Store in the fridge up to one week.
