Serve this simple dish as a side or entree. You can use any thin pasta in it and change up the veggies as desired.

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 cups fresh snow pea pods, trimmed
2 cups red bell pepper strips
2 cups broccoli florets
1 cup shredded carrots
1/4 cup chopped green onions
2 teaspoons fresh grated ginger
1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
4 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons water
12 ounces vermicelli pasta, cooked
3 teaspoons dark sesame oil
Heat the oil in a wok or large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the snow peas, bell pepper, broccoli, carrots, green onion, ginger, crushed red pepper, and garlic. Stir fry until crisp tender, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the soy sauce and water and mix to coat the vegetables. Add the cooked pasta and toss it and the vegetables in the soy sauce mixture.
Remove the wok from heat. Drizzle the stir-fry with the sesame oil and lightly toss to mix. Serve hot.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

I used Black Soybean spaghetti and it was what was missing. I also double the sauce.

I liked all the fresh veggies in this recipe. I did make more sauce for it though because I wanted something that I could thicken that would cling to the pasta more.
