These are the most delicious noodles to whip up in just a few minutes!

Ingredients:

• 1 pound of spaghetti
• 8 ounces of snow peas, thinly sliced lengthwise
• 1 red, yellow, and orange bell pepper cut into long strips (you can use only 1 pepper if you prefer)
• 3/4 cup of smooth peanut butter (like Skippy or Jiff)
• 2 cloves of garlic, smashed
• 1 jalapeno pepper, seeds removed (optional)
• 1/4 cup of soy sauce (I use low sodium)

• 1/3 cup of warm water
• 2 tablespoons of toasted sesame oil

Directions:

1. In a large pot of boiling water, cook pasta al dente, according to the package instructions.

3. In a blender, combine peanut butter, garlic, jalapeno, soy sauce, rice vinegar, water, sesame oil, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; puree until smooth.
4. Pour over reserved pasta; toss to coat. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
