When I first saw spaghetti squash, I was skeptical. It looks stringy – like the part of the squash you throw away. I had tried zucchini noodles and they were okay, but sometimes watery. But, I have a gluten sensitive stomach and missed pasta, so I tried them anyway. My life will never be the same…well noodles will never be the same.
Spaghetti squash noodles easily can stay that perfect al dente that I am always striving to achieve. They absorb all of the delicious flavors of the things that you cook and they don’t leave me with the bloated feelings of regret that I feel after I eat regular noodles. Give them a try. I think you’ll be converted.
This soup can stand on its own as a meal but if you’re looking for more asian inspired vegetarian recipes, try these Miso Mushroom Noodle Bowls.
