Spicy Sesame Noodles

Dressing                                     Pasta

2 garlic cloves                             1 lb thin spaghetti

3 tablespoons soy sauce                     2 bell peppers

1 ½ tablespoons rice vinegar                1 cup cilantro
¼ cup sesame oil                            1 cup shelled edamame
2 tablespoons dried hot pepper flakes

1 teaspoon sugar
1/3 cup pasta water
½ cup roasted cashews

Make the dressing in a blender. Dice up the bell pepper and put them in the bottom of a large serving bowl with the edamame. Cook the pasta until it is almost al dente (the pasta will absorb the dressing and continue to soften). Put the hot pasta over the peppers allowing the heat from the pasta to steam the peppers and edamame. Toss in the cilantro and dressing and marinate for at least and hr. serve cold or at room temp.
