Ingredients
For the pasta
- 10 ounces Spaghetti
- 1 zucchini spiralized
- 1 yellow squash spiralized
- 1 carrot spiralized
- 1 red bell pepper chopped
- 1 Persian cucumber sliced
Garnish:
- fresh mint
- fresh cilantro
- fresh basil
- thinly sliced scallions
- crushed peanuts
For the Sauce
- 1 lime juiced
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons honey or agave nectar
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup hot water
- 4 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
Instructions
- Fill a large pot with water, add 2 generous pinches of salt, and bring to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente.
- Combine the lime juice, red pepper flakes, garlic, honey, peanut butter, hot water and soy sauce in a small bowl and whisk together.
- Drain the pasta in a colander and add the zucchini and yellow squash noodles on top of the pasta so the remnant heat from the pasta slightly cooked the vegetables. After about 3 minutes, toss the pasta and veggies with the peanut sauce. Add in the carrot, red bell pepper and cucumber. Garnish with the cilantro, mint, basil, scallions and crushed peanuts serve.
