Instructions

Make the sauce. Add orange juice and soy sauce together, and bring to a boil. Mix the cornstarch and cold water and add to juice mixture, stirring constantly until thickened. When the sauce turns clearish, remove from heat and set aside. Cut zucchini and squash into 1/4-inch slices, and then in half again. Cut celery and carrots on the diagonal in 1 1/4-inch slices. Cut onion and green pepper into 1/4-inch slices and then cut in half again. Wash and cut mushrooms into quarters. Quarter lemons and limes. Bring 1 1/2 quarts water to a boil and add both pastas. Cook for 6 minutes, stirring well, then drain well. Set the pasta aside and cover to keep warm. Pour peanut oil into a large sauté pan and heat. When hot, add the chopped garlic and basil, along with the carrots and celery and sauté for 1 minute. Next add the red onion and the green pepper, cooking for one more minute. Then, add the zucchini, squash, and mushrooms, and cook one minute more. Finally, pour in 1 cup of the orange sauce, stirring well and add the cooked pasta and 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro. Squeeze three of the lemon quarters and three of the lime quarters into the pan, then drop in the fruit. Pour the mixture out onto a warm serving platter and place in a warm oven.
