Nutty Noodles Recipe - YUM!

I made this recipe tonight and the portion was huge and super yummy. I do think it needed a little more sauce, but I did not want to add any more sodium so I left it. The photo is wrong as the recipe includes broccoli and carrots and no mention of peanuts, though I did sprinkle a little on the top. I think if you added a little fish sauce and lime juice to the sauce it would be good too. My kids and hubby also loved it, so it was a big winner here all around. Kids are 2 and 6.

This quick and easy meal is a hit with kids. If they can't tolerate spicy foods, reduce or omit the sriracha (I used the full amount and my kids ate it with no problem)

Ingredients

6 ounces whole wheat spaghetti
10 ounces broccoli spears
1 cup baby carrots
1 ounce soy sauce (2 TB)
1 tablespoon natural peanut butter
1 teaspoon sriracha sauce

Pre-cooked protein of your choice:
2 cups shelled edamame
12 ounces cooked chicken breasts, chopped (calculated in the nutrition info)
12 ounces cooked tofu, cubed
12 ounces cooked shrimp (I used shrimp)



Directions
Cook pasta according to package directions. Combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, and sriracha in a small bowl. One minute before you drain the pasta, add the carrots and broccoli to the pot (I added the veggies for about 4 minutes). Drain and add the pasta, vegetables, your choice of protein and sauce to the pot. Heat through and serve.
