Spicy Peanut Noodles

• 8 oz. linguine
• 13 cup low-fat creamy peanut butter
• 2 Tbs. low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 1/2 Tbs. rice wine vinegar
• 1 to 2 tsp. chile paste with garlic
• 1/2 tsp. sugar
• 1 medium-size red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
• 3/4 cup chopped seeded cucumber
• 3 green onions, sliced diagonally into 1/4-inch pieces (about 1/4 cup)
• 2 Tbs. chopped cilantro
• 4 lime wedges, optional

1. Cook linguine according to package directions.
2. Meanwhile, combine peanut butter, 1/4 cup water, soy sauce, vinegar, chile paste and sugar in large bowl; whisk until blended.
3. If sauce seems too thick, thin it with a little water; it should have the consistency of cream.
4. Add linguine, bell pepper, cucumber and green onions, and toss well.
5. Sprinkle with cilantro.
6. Serve with lime wedges, if desired.
