Asian Noodles in Satay Sauce

This is a Weight Watchers recipe, from Cook it Quick. The recipe is really versatile -- just use whatever veggies you have on hand, or grab a few bags of frozen veggies for a super quick meal. You could also add chicken or pork to it or change out the noodles. Very tasty, and super easy to make. I added freshly sliced onions also, and just steamed them with the broccoli until they were opaque and tender.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup water
• 3 carrots, thinly sliced
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms
• 1 cup snow peas
• 3 scallions, chopped
• 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 6 oz fettuccine
• 1/4 cup peanut butter
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1/4 cup lime juice
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 small red pepper, seeded and sliced

Directions

1. Bring 1/4 cup of the water to a boil in a skillet. Add the carrots, broccoli and mushrooms, then bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until the vegetables are just tender, about 4-6 minutes. Add snow peas, scallions, ginger and garlic. Cook, uncovered until the snow peas soften.
2. Meanwhile, cook the fettuccine accord to package directions, drain.
3. Combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey and remaining 1/4 cup water in a bowl. Stir into the vegetables. Add the bell pepper and the fettuccine, toss to coat, and serve.
