Spicy Thai Carrot Noodles

Zucchini noodles may be the darling of the food scene right now, but don't stop there with your spiralizing. Ribbons of carrots are tossed with broccoli, mushrooms, peppers, and a spicy Thai peanut sauce for a satisfying, wholesome, and easy dinner that comes from—of all places—the Swanson chicken broth recipe archives. —Posie (Harwood) Brien
