This recipe was by far not one of my favorites but I think a lot of that had to do with my own mistake. When I make up my meal plan and grocery list I do not write what grocery item is for what meal so when I went shopping and needed to seen that I needed to purchase linguine noodles I did not even think about what meal they were for. The supermarket had lemon pepper linguine noodles and I thought that would be something different for a change. If you were to use the lemon pepper linguine in with a nice tomato sauce it would probably work well together but with this asian inspired type sauce it didn’t work even a little bit (at least in my opinion)

INGREDIENTS

• 300 g (1/3 of 900-g pkg.) linguine, uncooked
• 3 cups fresh broccoli florets
• 2 cups sliced carrots (about 3 medium)
• 2 tsp. oil
• 1 lb. (500 g) beef sirloin steak, cut into strips
• 1/4 cup KRAFT Zesty Italian Dressing
• 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
• 1 tsp. ground ginger

DIRECTIONS

• Cook pasta as directed on package, adding broccoli and carrots to the cooking water for the last 2 min. of the pasta cooking time. Drain pasta mixture.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in large nonstick skillet. Add meat; cook until browned on all sides, stirring occasionally. Stir in dressing, teriyaki sauce and ginger; cook until sauce is thickened, stirring occasionally.
• Place pasta mixture in large serving bowl. Add meat mixture; mix lightly.

Recipe Alterations

So like I mentioned I used the wrong flavor of noodle when I should have just used a regular whole wheat type. I also adjusted the following:

1. Doubled the dressing and teriyaki sauce as we don’t like the pasta to be quite so dry.
2. Left the ginger out because I can’t stand the stuff.

Family Taste Test

The part that really surprised me (and maybe it shouldn’t have) was that my son absolutely loved this. Even the way it turned out. He ate it all and even wanted extra carrots and broccoli. Thats right, he ate his vegetables. And broccoli is even green! I did not think my husband would like it all either but luckily ( not so luckily for him I suppose) he had a nasty cold and could not taste much of anything anyway.

My Thoughts

I probably would make this again seeing how much my son liked it. Then again maybe it was the strong weird flavor that he liked so much and won’t eat it again when made with the proper type of pasta. That would not surprise me at all.
