Pasta primavera salad with peanut sauce

4 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
¼ cup Raisins
2 tablespoons Creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons Chutney
½ cup Sliced green onions
½ cup Red bell pepper; in strips
½ cup Green bell pepper; in strips
½ cup Pea pods
¼ cup Sliced zucchini
¼ cup Sliced yellow squash
1 Garlic clove; minced
2 cups Cooked spaghetti; hot
1 dash Crushed red pepper

Directions

In small cup, combine raisins and ¼ c warms water; set aside.

In 1 quart microwaveable casserole, combine peanut butter and chutney.

Cover and microwave on high (100%) for 1 minute. Add scallions, bell pepper, peapods, zucchini, summer squash, and garlic and stir to combine.

Cover and microwave on medium (50%) for at least 3 minutes (depending on how crunchy you like your veggies), stirring once halfway through cooking.

Drain raisins, reserving liquid. Add raisins, spaghetti, and red pepper to peanut butter mixture and toss to coat. Cover and microwave on medium for 1 minute. If peanut butter mixture is very thick, add some of reserved liquid from raisins.

NOTES : W.W. suggests serving as a main dish, hot. I prefer it as a salad at room temperature. As a salad it serves at least 4.
