Oriental Lemon-Honey Pasta

I love this pasta, it's my fave oriental dinner! This recipe is from my favorite cookbook, The Two Sisters. You can order it from http://www.thetwosisters.com/home.asp. You can grate the carrots instead of slice them. That is what we usually do.


Ingredients

1 pound angel hair pasta

1 cup olive oil

1/2 cup lemon juice

3 garlic cloves, minced

1/2 cup Bragg Liquid Aminos, tamari, or soy sauce

2 teaspoons grated, fresh gingerroot

1/4 cup honey

3 carrots, julienne cut*

2 portobello mushrooms, or 1 cup regular mushrooms

3-4 cups broccoli florets

*Julienne cut means to cut the vegetables about 2-3 inches long and 1/8 inch thick

Be sure to make enough of this - it disappears fast!



SERVES 6
PREPERATION TIME: 30 MINUTES

  1. Cook pasta to desired doneness.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine the oil, lemon juice, garlic, Bragg Liquid Aminos, ginger, and honey. Cook until thoroughly heated.
  3. Pour about 1 cup of this sauce into a medium saucepan and add the carrots.
  4. Saute the carrots for about 5 minutes.
  5. Add the mushrooms and broccoli and cook until tender (about 5 minutes).
  6. Toss the vegetables and the rest of the sauce with the pasta and serve.
Cook's Notes: For a healthy substitute, we prefer to use 1 pound cooked rice noodles instead of pasta. With this substitution, we use sesame oil in place of the olive oil.
