ASIAN VEGETABLE PASTA SALAD

Steps:

• Heat a small saucepan to medium, and add the oils, garlic and red pepper flakes. Stir and don't let the oil get too hot. Once the garlic is cooked, stir in the vinegar, tamari, water and maple syrup. Turn the heat down to medium-low, and stir occasionally while you prepare the vegetables.
• The next part of this pasta salad is to sprinkle some sea salt on the broccoli and mushrooms in a bowl with a tight-fitting lid. Add some tamari if you like for flavor, put the lid on the bowl and shake for a few minutes, until the vegetables start to wilt. Let them marinate while you chop the tomato, green onion and optional cashews.

Add snap peas and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, 1/4 cup pasta water and the remaining dressing. Stir to deglaze the pan and lift the browned bits on the bottom of the skillet, then add vegetable mixture (with sauce) and scallions to pasta and toss until well combined (add more pasta water if thinner sauce is desired). Season with salt and pepper.
