INGREDIENTS

1 lb spaghetti

1 tablespoon neutral oil

1 lb snap peas

1/2 cup smooth peanut butter

2 tablespoons dark soy sauce

1/2 cup grated carrot

PREPARATION

Cook spaghetti according to package directions, until al dente. Drain through a colander, reserving about a cup of the pasta water.

Remove the stems from the snap peas, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the snow peas. Cook the snow peas until they start to blister, about 3 minutes, moving them around the skillet occasionally. In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter and dark soy sauce until smooth. When snow peas are light brown, reduce the heat to low and add the peanut butter mixture and 1/4 cup reserved pasta water, whisking together to make a thin sauce. Add cooked spaghetti and toss until combined.

To serve, garnish with 1/2 cup grated raw carrot.
