Serves
6
Ingredients
1⁄4 cup sliced almonds
3⁄4 lb whole wheat spaghetti
1⁄2 head broccoli (about 3⁄4 lb), tops
cut into flowerets, stems peeled and sliced thinly
2 cups (about 4 oz) snow peas, trimmed
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch
pieces
1⁄2 cup unsalted almond butter
1⁄4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
3
T fresh lime juice
2
T brown sugar
1 T chili-garlic sauce, such as Sriracha
1 scallion, green part only (about 3 T)
1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
2. Toast the almonds in a dry skillet on
medium heat, stirring frequently until they’re golden, about 3 minutes.

directions on the package. Three minutes before the pasta is ready, add the
broccoli to the pasta pot. One minute before it’s ready, add the snow
peas and red peppers to the pot.
4. While the pasta is cooking, make the
sauce. Place the almond butter, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, chiligarlic
sauce, and 3 T of boiling water from the pasta pot into a large bowl, and whisk
until smooth.
5. Drain the noodles and vegetables,
return them to the pasta pot, add the sauce and toss to coat. Serve garnished with
the toasted almonds and scallion greens.
