Whole wheat pasta with sweet andspicy veggies


Deciding what to make for lunch, I had a bunch of left  over stuff and came up with this delicious whole wheat pasta with chicken veggie sweet and spicy sauce.  So easy, here it is. This is what I used, but feel free to add whatever you like.  Sorry all, but I don't measure much, so I will  try to estimate quantities.

Ingredients:

2 tbsp. olive oil, give or take, more if it is a little dry
2 cloves garlic, rough chop
Broccoli, about 1 1/2 to 2 cups
1/2 c. each red, yellow, orange peppers (I used the small sweet peppers)
1 cup snap peas
1 cup cooked chicken
can water chestnuts
 1 1/2 c. chicken broth
1/4 c. sweet white wine, or any white wine  you have on hand
1/8 tsp. sesame  oil
3 tblsp. rice vinegar (Or apple cider if you don't have rice)
1/4 cup honey
1 tblsp. red curry paste (easy to find in grocery store, I use it on a lot of stuff)
soy sauce
whole wheat pasta cooked about 1 cup.

Heat pan, add olive oil and garlic, cook 2 minutes
Add veggies and saute for 3-4 minutes
Add chicken, heat
remove from pan
Add chicken broth, soy sauce, wine, sesame oil, curry paste, rice vinegar, and honey bring to boil and cook 5 minutes.
Add cooked pasta and veggies back to pan and heat.

That's it!  Enjoy it is awesome.

As always, this is a guideline, add what you like or leave out what you don't!
