Cold Chicken Satay Noodles

This is a great recipe for those warm spring and summer nights. I saw Rachel Ray make it on TV the other day and I tried it. We loved it! It is especially good for those who like chinese food. Anyways, it makes a ton and is pretty cheap. Most of the ingredients I keep around the house. Hope you enjoy.

• 1 lb. whole wheat pasta
• 1/4-1/3 cup smooth or chunky peanut butter, soften by putting in the microwave
• 2 T honey
• 1/4 cup warm water
• 1/4 cup tamari (I just used soy sauce, since that is what I always have in the pantry)
• 1 clove garlic, grated
  
• Juice of 2 limes, zest of 1
• 1 t hot sauce
• 3 T vegetable oil
• 2 cups chicken (shredded)
• Handful of shredded carrots (I just chopped mine small)
• 4 scallions, thinkly sliced
• 1 cup spinach greens, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup chopped peanuts
• 2 T chopped cilantro or flat-leaf parsley (I didn't put any in mine and it was still great)
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, salt water liberally, then drop pasta in and cook to al dente. Run cooked pasta under cold water to cool. Drain well and reserve.
• While the water is coming to a boil and the pasta is cooking, whisk together softened peanut butter, honey and warm water in a large bowl. Once combined, whisk in the tamari, garlic, lime juice and zest, and hot sauce. While whisking continuously, pour the oil in a steady stream to complete the dressing. Add noodles, veggies and peanuts to the bowl and toss until everything is mixed well. Place noodles in shallow bowls and top with chicken and cilantro or parsley.
• Can be served as is or chilled.
