Health and fertility benefits of Cayenne Peanut Butter Pasta with Sundried Tomato and Broccoli

Broccoli is one of the non-starchy vegetables that has a very low glycemic index (GI), which is beneficial for reducing blood sugar levels. Broccoli is also a source of DIM (Diindolymethane). Diindolymethane is very effective in reducing the testosterone levels in the body, an action that would automatically curb male dominant features and regulate the estrogen levels in the system.

Ingredients

3 tbsp rice vinegar
2 tbsps soy sauce
16 oz dry rotini
1 tbsp cayenne pepper
1 bunch broccoli
10 cloves garlic
1 cup sun-dried tomatoes
3 jalapeno peppers
8 oz chunky peanut butter

Instructions

1. Mince garlic and finely chop peppers. Use more peppers to taste (I use 3 habanero peppers as well).

2. In a small pan, heat oil over medium heat and cook garlic and peppers for 3-5 minutes. Set aside.

3. In a small sauce pan, add 1/2 cup of water, rice vinegar, soy sauce and cayenne pepper to taste. Bring to boil.

4. Remove from heat and add peanut butter (about 1/2 jar). Stir until creamy. It will be a strange consistency as the peanut butter melts, but don't worry it will smooth out.

5. Stir in cooked garlic and peppers. Set aside.

6. Boil water for pasta in a large pot. Add pasta and broccoli, cut in spears. Cover. Drain when cooked and return to pot.

7. Add peanut butter sauce to pasta broccoli mix and sliced sun-dried tomatoes. Mix well.

8. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Also great served cold.
