Pasta with Peanut Butter, Broccoli, and Pepper Sauce

From Vegweb.com. This is an all-time favourite, but it's definitely not a first-date sort of dish! In addition to all the spice, you should also note the presence of raw garlic. This one is not for the faint of heart!

1/2 lb broccoli flowers and thin stems
1 red pepper, diced
3 cloves garlic, crushed
4 tbsp peanut butter
3 tbsp hot water
1 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp wine vinegar
Pasta for 2 (fusilli or penne)

Start boiling the water for pasta.

Mix all but the vegetables (and pasta!) to make cold sauce.

When the pasta is 2 minutes away from being done, add the vegetables to the pasta water.

Drain the pasta and veggies, mix with sauce and serve.
