Linguine with Snow Peas, Cucumber, and Peanut Sauce Recipe

  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup peanut butter
  • 2/3 cup canned low-sodium chicken broth or homemade stock
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 pound linguine
  • 3/4 pound snow peas, cut diagonally into thin slices
  • 1 1/2 cups bean sprouts
  • 2 scallions, including green tops, chopped
  • 1 cucumber, peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded, and sliced thin
  • 1/2 cup chopped peanuts
  1. In a blender or food processor, combine the garlic, soy sauce, peanut butter, chicken broth, lime juice, red-pepper flakes, and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Puree until smooth.
  2. In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the linguine until almost done, about 9 minutes. Stir in the snow peas and bean sprouts and cook until the vegetables and pasta are just done, about 3 minutes more. Drain and toss with the peanut sauce, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, the scallions, cucumber, and 1/3 cup of the peanuts. Serve with the remaining peanuts sprinkled over the top.
