Thai Peanut Pasta

Enjoy! I've "heathified" all of the ingredients, but if you don't have the exact ingredients on hand, use what you've got. No big deal.

Ingredients

2 cups vegetable broth (or chicken but the smell of that makes me sick)
1/2 cup all-natural peanut butter
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup raw honey
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (more or less depending on your spice level)
3 cloves garlic, pressed/minced
2 tbs freshly grated/minced ginger

1 package linguine noodles
A good, big old handful of freshly chopped cilantro
A couple of limes, sliced

Cook your pasta according to package directions. While pasta is cooking, combine broth, peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, cayenne pepper, garlic and ginger into a medium sized saucepan. Stir over medium-low heat until mixture becomes smooth. Once pasta is cooked, toss sauce over pasta. Dish up and add a splash of lime juice and sprinkle with fresh cilantro. DON'T leave that last step out. You'll regret it. It tastes unbelievable when you add that fresh lime juice and yummy cilantro.
