Yum! I love pasta in peanut sauce and this was a simple and tasty one. I forgot to add the veggies to the pasta water, so did a quick stir-fry of them before adding to the dish. It came together quickly and I really enjoyed the contrast of the crunchy veggies and the red pepper flakes for a little heat. Thanks Hokies for a reat meal. Made for Potluck Tag.

What an easy, yummy dish! I used boneless chicken thighs as that is our preference and I but back the pasta to 6 oz (DH needs to watch his carbs......won't do it on his own so I have to help.......most times he doesn't have a clue) and used #37244 for peanut sauce. This would be even quicker using precooked sliced chicken and for those nights when I'm really busy, I just might do that. Thanks for posting this Hokies! Made for Potluck Tag.
