Pasta with Peanut Sauce

PEANUT SAUCE
2 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1-2 cloves garlic, minced or chopped
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon brown sugar
juice from half a lemon (can be less, depending on your tastes)
In a non-stick pan, combine all ingredients, stirring constatntly over medium heat until peanut butter has melted. You can do this in the microwave too, for about 30-40 seconds.

Pour over pasta and veggies. This is great easy idea when you need to figure out something to do with leftover pasta/veggies/chicken/beef!

Tried this sauce last night and it was just fabulous. We have experimented with several peanut sauces, trying to find one that is not disgustingly heavy and flavorless -- and this one was really great! I doubled the recipe and added it to a skillet of sauteed chicken and red pepper strips and served over white rice. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to add some interesting flavors to their weeknight palate.
