Linguine Stir-Fry With Green Beans & Garlic
Description
This vibrant stir-fry brings together the comfort of pasta with the fresh crunch of green beans and the pungent aroma of garlic. While traditional Italian pasta dishes often rely on simmered sauces, this recipe adopts a wok-style technique for a faster, lighter meal. The linguine absorbs the savory teriyaki-garlic sauce, while the chicken and vegetables retain a satisfying crunch. It is an excellent choice for busy weeknights when you need a nutritious, flavorful meal on the table in under 40 minutes. The combination of sweet bell peppers, earthy beans, and savory umami notes creates a balanced dish that appeals to both vegetarians (if chicken is omitted) and meat-eaters alike.Ingredients

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook linguine according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Heat 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or non-stick skillet over high heat.

Add the remaining 1 teaspoon of oil to the same pan. Add the green beans, reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook for 7 minutes until tender-crisp.
-
Uncover the pan, add the diced red bell peppers, and stir well. Cook uncovered for an additional 5 minutes.
-
Add the minced garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Stir in the teriyaki sauce and chicken broth. Heat until the mixture comes to a simmer.
