I just don't get it... I didn't think this dish was anything great. I followed the recipe exactly, with a little bit of extra red pepper flakes. I used spaghetti. I won't make this again. :-S What did I do wrong??

very tasty. I can see this as a very kid friendly dish. DH loved it. It was easy and quick to put together. I will definitely make it again.

I've made this dish at least a half a dozen times already and I can't believe I hadn't rated it yet!! Too busy enjoying it, I guess The last time I made it, I doubled the sauce since it was to sit overnight and then be in a crock pot all day. But otherwise perfect as written. I usually short cut the broccoli cooking by plunking them in the pot with the boiling pasta for the last 8 minutes of cook time. Thank you Rita for such a delish dish!

Outstanding recipe! I loved it. The sauce was perfectly seasoned, creamy and just the right amount for the pasta. I spread a little of the sauce on some boneless chicken breasts and broiled them a few minutes on each side. Then I sliced them and added the chicken slices to the pasta. I substituted 2 cups snow peas (cooked for about 2 minutes in the water with the pasta at the end) instead of the broccoli and topped the dish with matchstick carrots (also slightly cooked in the microwave) instead of the cucumber. Unfortunately my family is not used to different Asian flavors and did not care for the peanut sauce. I'll make it again for me, though, and freeze individual servings to take for my lunch.
