This dish may require a little extra effort but it’s so worth it. Spiralized carrot ‘noodles’ replace traditional pasta in this typical Thai dish. The ‘noodles’ along with other healthy veggies simmer in a Swanson broth-based peanut sauce, soaking up all of the amazing flavors. We think you’ll love these ‘noodles’ so much you may never go back to plain old pasta!

Tips
- Adding chickpeas or edamame to this recipe is a wonderful addition that adds to the texture and heartiness of the dish.
-
Step 1
Heat the sesame oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper and cook and stir for 30 seconds. Add the mushrooms and green pepper and cook for 3 minutes or until the peppers are lightly browned and tender, stirring occasionally.
-
Step 2
Increase the heat to high. Add the broccoli, broth, peanut butter, soy sauce and lime juice to the skillet and heat to a boil. Cook and stir until the peanut butter has melted. Reduce the heat to medium. Cover and cook for 2 minutes or until the broccoli is tender.
-
Step 3
Add the carrot noodles to the skillet. Cover and cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until the carrot noodles are tender-crisp (cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes for more tender noodles).
-
Step 4
Uncover and toss to coat the carrot noodles with the peanut butter mixture. Cook, uncovered, for 1 minute or until peanut butter mixture thickens slightly. Serve sprinkled with the green onion and peanuts.
