Ingredients

  • 8 oz. uncooked capellini (angel hair) pasta
  • 2 teaspoons Asian sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seed
  • 1 lb. pork tenderloin, halved lengthwise, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium onion, cut into thin wedges
  • 1/2 cup stir-fry sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 cups frozen sugar snap peas (from 1-lb. bag)
  • 1/4 cup sliced fresh basil

Steps

  • 1
    Cook pasta as directed on package. Drain; return to saucepan. Add sesame oil; toss to coat. Cover to keep warm.
  • 2
    Meanwhile, heat 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add sesame seed; cook and stir 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown. (Watch carefully to prevent burning.) Remove from skillet.
  • 3
    In same skillet, cook pork and onion over medium-high heat for 3 to 4 minutes or until no longer pink, stirring frequently.
  • 4
    Add stir-fry sauce, honey and sugar snap peas; mix well. Reduce heat to medium; cook 3 to 4 minutes or until peas are crisp-tender, stirring occasionally. Add basil; cook and stir 1 minute. Serve pork mixture over cooked pasta. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seed.

  • Speed up this meal even more by using refrigerated angel hair pasta. A 9-ounce package is just right, and it cooks in less than half the time of dried pasta.
