Ingredients

  • 16 oz dry rotini
  • 8 oz chunky peanut butter
  • 2 tbsps soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp cayenne pepper
  • 10 cloves garlic
  • 3 jalapeno peppers
  • 1 bunch broccoli
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes

Directions

  • Mince garlic and finely chop peppers. Use more peppers to taste (I use 3 habanero peppers as well).
  • In a small pan, heat oil over medium heat and cook garlic and peppers for 3-5 minutes. Set aside.
  • In a small sauce pan, add 1/2 cup of water, rice vinegar, soy sauce and cayenne pepper to taste. Bring to boil.
  • Remove from heat and add peanut butter (about 1/2 jar). Stir until creamy. It will be a strange consistency as the peanut butter melts, but don't worry it will smooth out.
  • Stir in cooked garlic and peppers. Set aside.
  • Boil water for pasta in a large pot. Add pasta and broccoli, cut in spears. Cover. Drain when cooked and return to pot.
  • Add peanut butter sauce to pasta broccoli mix and sliced sun-dried tomatoes. Mix well.
  • Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Also great served cold.
