Cayenne Peanut Butter Pasta with Sundried Tomato and Broccoli
A spicy pasta dish that can be served either hot or cold. The combined flavor of peanut, garlic and hot pepper is unusual and satisfying.
Ingredients
Directions
- Mince garlic and finely chop peppers. Use more peppers to taste (I use 3 habanero peppers as well).
- In a small pan, heat oil over medium heat and cook garlic and peppers for 3-5 minutes. Set aside.
- In a small sauce pan, add 1/2 cup of water, rice vinegar, soy sauce and cayenne pepper to taste. Bring to boil.
- Remove from heat and add peanut butter (about 1/2 jar). Stir until creamy. It will be a strange consistency as the peanut butter melts, but don't worry it will smooth out.
- Stir in cooked garlic and peppers. Set aside.
- Boil water for pasta in a large pot. Add pasta and broccoli, cut in spears. Cover. Drain when cooked and return to pot.
- Add peanut butter sauce to pasta broccoli mix and sliced sun-dried tomatoes. Mix well.
- Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Also great served cold.

i modified the peanut sauce a bit by using vegetable broth instead of water and i added more than called for. would use less peanut butter next time. overall it was a hit! i really liked that my 2 yr old son ate the brocoli since he liked the sauce it was covered in!

This is dangerously delicious! I did end up adding a little extra vinegar and soy sauce to the peanutbutter, it was a tad too thick for me.

i really enjoyed this dish... although, the cayenne pepper was a bit much for me. I might have cut the portion in half on that one item.
I liked it the next day, also, cold from the fridge.
