Pasta with Peanut Lime Sauce

One of my all time favorite meals is peanut noodles with shredded chicken and veggies. I can't even count how many times I've made this. Due to my undying love for that meal I have never bothered to try any other peanut sauce pasta recipes because...well... I already found "the one" if you will. That was until I came across this recipe. I really was intrigued by the addition of lime in the sauce. I thought it would really brighten it up, and sure enough it did. I also really liked the use of crunchy peanut butter in this. The little peanut bits were a great surprise each time I got one! Does it replace my favorite peanut noodles? No... But I'd venture to say it's just as good!
