Peanut Butter Pasta
This is one of my top 5 dinners!
Peanut Butter Pasta – Serves 2
First 8 ingredients:
¼ cup smooth peanut butter
3 TBSP soy sauce
1 TBSP red wine vinegar
1 TBSP sesame oil
2 Tsp olive oil
1 Tsp sugar
1 clove crushed garlic
¼ to ½ Tsp crushed red pepper flakes
Remaining ingredients:
4 oz angel hair pasta
8 oz fresh broccoli chopped into bite-sized pieces
¼ cup chopped onions
3 oz packet of chicken
At home, before the trip:
Combine the first 8 ingredients in a blender and liquefy. Put in an airtight plastic bag.
Chop the broccoli and onion and place in an airtight plastic bag along with the bag containing the first 8 ingredients.
In camp:
Put 2 cups water in a pot and add the pasta as the water comes to a boil.
Boil, and after 3 minutes, add the broccoli and onions.
Continue boiling, cooking pasta to taste with the broccoli and onion, about another 3 to 5 minutes.
Drain, reserving a shy ½ cup of the liquid.
Add the reserved liquid to the blended first 8 ingredients. Stir and add the chicken and the sauce to the pasta and vegetables.
Note: You can add some ginger to the first 8 ingredients for additional flavor.
