- 1 package gluten free pasta
- 1 red bell pepper chopped
- 4 cups broccoli florets chopped
- 3 large carrots julienned into matchsticks

Peanut Sauce
- 1/2 cup peanut butter

Prepare peanut sauce in a large mixing bowl by combining the peanut butter, water, coconut aminos, sesame oil, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, salt, garlic powder, and ground ginger. Whisk together until smooth and creamy.
In a large pan, heat the oil. Add the onion and garlic. Cook for 2 minutes. Add the bell pepper, carrots, and broccoli. Stir occasionally and cook for about 6-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
While the vegetables are cooking, boil water and cook your pasta according to the package instructions. Reserve ½ cup of the cooking water.
Once the noodles are cooked, add them into the vegetables and stir. Add in the peanut sauce and ¼ cup of pasta cooking water. Mix until everything is well combined, adding in the rest of the cooking water if needed.
Top with cilantro and serve.
