I love soba noodles. They are higher in fiber and protein than traditional pasta; and they are lower in calories than traditional pasta. Paired with peas and watermelon radishes, this dish is a beautiful and vibrant meal that can be made in under 15 minutes. Quick, easy, delicious, and very filling!
