Asian Peanut Beef and Noodles

This is a great healthy alternative if you are craving Chinese food. This recipe is very simple to make and a great meal for two people and it is ready in 30 minutes or less. The photo below is my fiance's portion...if you are watching what you eat then you will probably want to make your serving size a little bit less. If you are cooking for more than two people, just adjust the amount of ingredients accordingly.

4 oz whole wheat spaghetti
1 1/2 cups sugar snap peas (I used fresh ones, not frozen)
1/2 cup roasted red pepper strips (You can find jarred roasted red peppers in the grocery store...just cut them up into strips).
1/4 cup LIGHT Catalina Dressing
1/2 lb (8oz) well-trimmed boneless beef sirloin steak, cut into strips
1 Tbsp creamy peanut butter (use the REAL thing, not reduced fat)
1 Tbsp soy sauce
2 green onions, chopped
1/4 cups Dry Roasted Peanuts

Directions:

Cook spaghetti as directed on package, adding snap peas to the cooking water for the last 2 minutes of the spaghetti cooking time. 

Meanwhile, heat dressing in a LARGE skillet on med-high heat. Add meat; stir-fry for 3 minutes or until meat is barely pink in center. Add peanut butter and soy sauce; stir-fry for 2 minutes or until sauce thickens.

Drain spaghetti and peas. Add to skillet. Toss with meat mixture. Stir in green onions and roasted red pepper strips. Plate beef and noodles, then sprinkle with peanuts.
