January 24, 2014

This one will impress your friends...you don't need to tell them it only took 30 minutes to make. Noodles and broccoli are tossed with a brightly flavored sauce that combines peanut butter with soy and citrus.

1 package (16 ounces) linguine or other long pasta, cooked and drained
1/2 cup Crisco® canola oil
1/2 cup Jif® creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
1 small red, yellow or green pepper, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1 large onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 pound broccoli florets (about 3 cups)

Place the hot linguine into a large bowl. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil and toss to coat. 2 Beat the peanut butter, orange juice, lemon juice, soy sauce and sugar in a medium bowl with a fork or whisk. 3 Heat the remaining oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the pepper, onion, and garlic and cook and stir for 1 minute. Stir in the broccoli and the peanut butter mixture. Reduce the heat to low. Cook until the vegetables are tender-crisp, stirring often. Add the vegetable mixture to the linguine and toss to coat.
