PLACE lime juice, soy sauce, honey & 1/4 cup chopped peanuts in electric blender or food processor container, cover, Blend until smooth, set aside. [Has a peanutbutter color]
COOK pasta as directed on package, adding carrots, pea pods and pepper strips to boiling water during last 3 minutes of cooking time. Drain pasta and vegetables. [I left the vegetables raw]
RESERVE 1/4 cup peanut sauce. Toss pasta with remaining peanut sauce. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Let pasta stand at room tempurature 30 minutes before serving. To serve, toss pasta with remaining peanut sauce and remaining [1/4 cup] peanuts.
I used extra peanuts. Sometimes I substitute broccoli slaw for carrots and peapods.
