That's right - Peanut Butter! Our family LOVES this dish, my three year old can never get enough! Try this for dinner tonight! (And let me know what you think)

Ingredients:
Coarse Salt
2 heads of Brocoli
3 T Canola Oil
½ tsp. red pepper flakes
¼ C rice vinegar (maybe little less)
2 T All Natural Smooth Peanut Butter
3 T low sodium Soy Sauce
1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced crosswise
½ C Roasted Peanuts
Instructions:
1. Cook pasta
2. Trim and chop broccoli to bite size pieces. Using a vegetable peeler, peel outer layers of stalk, thinly slice crosswise.
3. Heat 1 Tbl of oil in LARGE skillet. Add pepper flakes, broccoli and ¾ C water, cover and cook until it is tender. 6-8 minutes. Uncover and cook until liquid is evaporated, 2-4 min.
4. In bowl whisk 1-2 Tbl. of oil, vinegar, Peanut Butter, and soy sauce. Add pasta, broccoli, sauce, scallions, and peanuts - toss to combine. Serve immediately.
-NOTE: You may want to add peanuts individually. They may get soggy in the leftovers.
Note: You can add canned chicken or diced cooked chicken breast for some more protein. Serve this warm or cold - which makes it a great lunchbox idea!
Variation: Have you tried Soba Noodles? They are double the protien of rice and full of fiber. (read more HERE) This would be a great dish to try them on! Just use instead of pasta. Get them in the asian or health section of your grocery store! YUM!
How do you think this recipe would work with slivered almonds and almond butter? Dianna's got a peanut allergy.
