THAI ANGEL HAIR PASTA

This can also be a non-vegetarian recipe with the addition of 1 lb. boneless/skinless chicken breasts. These would be cut into strips and marinated in the first 13 ingredients for 30 minutes at room temperature. Then grill or broil chicken until firm (about 3 minutes per side). Slice and add to the pasta.
