This is a very easy weeknight pasta that comes together very quickly. If you want a non vegetarian version, you can add cooked, sliced chicken. You could also add tofu for added protein. This recipe is adapted from Looneyspoons by Janet and Greta Podleski.
Ingredients:
12 oz long pasta (fettuccine or spaghetti)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 cup chopped onions
2 tsp minced garlic
1 cup chicken broth (you can use veggie stock to keep this vegetarian)
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp grated gingerroot
1 tbsp sesame oil
2 tsp honey or brown sugar
1 tsp hot pepper sauce (I used sriracha)
2 tbsp cornstarch
1 cup julienned red bell pepper
1 cup julienned carrots
1-1/2 cups broccoli florets
Method:
Get your pasta cooking. When it’s done, drain and set aside.
While pasta is cooking, heat up the oil over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, and saute until they start to soften. Add broth, ketchup, soy sauce, vinegar, lemon juice, gingerroot, sesame oil, honey or brown sugar, and hot pepper sauce. Mix well and bring to a simmer.
Throw in your veg, and cook for 3-4 min, until tender-crisp. Mix cornstarch with an equal amount of water in a small bowl to make a slurry and add to the pot. Cook until sauce has thickened to your liking. Add cooked pasta and mix well. Enjoy!

it is so easy to make a innocent mistake that ends up being life threatening. People think I'm paranoid but that mistake was mine! The second packet is now being donated to the food bank.
