Whole-Wheat Spaghetti with Vegetables and Peanut Sauce

For a quick Asian sauce that takes almost no time to prepare, mix together peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar.

Serves 4
Ingredients:
8 oz whole wheat spaghetti
coarse salt and ground pepper
4 oz snow peas, tough strings removed
3 medium carrots, halved, and shaved with a vegetable peeler
1 container (14 oz) firm tofu, drained and cut into 1-inch cubes
3 Tbs smooth peanut butter
2 Tbs soy sauce
2 Tbs rice vinegar
2 Tbs light-brown sugar
Directions:
1. Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, according to package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water. Add snow peas, carrots, and tofu to pot; immediately drain pasta mixture, and set aside.
2. In pasta pot, stir together peanut butter, soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar. Add reserved pasta mixture; toss gently, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time to create a thin sauce that coats spaghetti (you may not need all the water). Season as desired with salt and pepper. Serve.
