Introduction

This "salad" is a nice change from the ordinary pasta salad, made with heart healthy oils. It tastes best at room temperature and because it is made with oil, is a perfect dish for a picnic. Careful though - it has quite the kick! This "salad" is a nice change from the ordinary pasta salad, made with heart healthy oils.

Ingredients

    1/3 cup granulated sugar
    1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
    4 T red wine vinegar
    2 T olive oil
    3 T toasted dark sesame oil
    2 T Chili Garlic Sauce (usually found in the Asian section of your supermarket)
    1 medium red bell pepper
    1 medium green bell pepper
    1 bunch scallions
    1 pound spaghetti

Directions

Cook spaghetti according to package directions.

While spaghetti is cooking, slice the red and green peppers into thin strips. Chop the scallions on a diagonal for the green parts then chop finer when you get down to the white part. Put into a large bowl.

When spaghetti is done, drain well and pour over veggies.

Whisk together sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, olive oil, sesame oil. and chili garlic sauce unti well combined.

Pour over spaghetti and using tongs or a pasta server, mix together well.

This salad tastes best if it is made several hours ahead or even better, overnight and then is served at room temperature.

8 servings, depending on how much you like pasta ;-)
