Angel Hair Pasta With Snow Peas & Scallions

Start heating a large pot of water to boiling for the pasta.

In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil until hot but not smoking over medium heat. Add the bell pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until tender, about 5 minutes.

Add the scallions, garlic, and ginger and cook, stirring frequently until the scallions are tender, about 4 minutes longer.

Stir in the snow peas and cook until the snow peas are just crisp-tender, about 1 minute. Add the broth, salt, and black pepper and bring to a boil.

In a cup, combine the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of water, stirring to blend. Stir into the sauce. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 1 minute longer.

Meanwhile, cook the angel hair pasta in the boiling water until just tender. Drain well.

Transfer the vegetable mixture to a large bowl, add the pasta, and toss to combine. Spoon the pasta mixture onto serving plates and serve.
