Whole-wheat pasta bolsters fiber and nutrients in this popular Asian noodle salad. The recipe is from Annelise Stuart of Germantown, New York.

Ingredients

Serves:

1 pound whole-wheat spaghetti

1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce

2 tablespoons sesame oil

2 tablespoons canola oil

2 tablespoons rice-wine vinegar or lime juice

1 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper

1 bunch scallions, sliced, divided

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, divided (optional)

4 cups snow peas, trimmed and sliced on the bias

1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1/2 cup toasted sesame seeds

Directions

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook spaghetti until just tender, 9 to 11 minutes or according to package directions. Drain; rinse under cold water.

2. Meanwhile, whisk soy sauce, sesame oil, canola oil, vinegar (or lime juice), crushed red pepper, 1/4 cup scallions and 2 tablespoons cilantro (if using). Add noodles, snow peas and bell pepper; toss to coat.

3. To serve, mix in sesame seeds and garnish with the remaining scallions and cilantro.

First, too much hot peppers! Second, I cut the low sodium soy with water and added a cup of Tahini. It was great for my families taste, will make again.

Yummy. I blanched my snow peas first and added blanched asparagus, put less sesame seeds and topped with crispy garlic-ginger wonton strips (found near the produce isle in supermarkets). Also served with some leftover thinly sliced flank steak.

Pretty good meal... my picky husband actually liked it. I would use less soy sauce next time and perhaps add some tofu. I liked the spiciness of the peppers...
