Ingredients
- 8 oz. spaghetti gluten-free if desired
- 8 oz. mushrooms (I use cremini)
- 5 oz. snow peas (about 1.5 cups)
- 2 carrot medium
- 6 green onions
- 3-4 cloves garlic
- 1/4 cup tamari (or less)
- ginger 1/2 tsp freshly grated ginger, 2 tsp toasted sesame oil, optional
- sesame oil 1/2 tsp freshly grated ginger, 2 tsp toasted sesame oil, optional
Toppings (optional):
- mung bean sprouts
- sesame seeds
Instructions
- Cook spaghetti* according to package directions, leaving al dente (not mushy). Drain and set aside when finished.
- Meanwhile, slice mushrooms, cut green onions in 1/2″ pieces, and cut carrots into matchsticks/julienned (or shred/dice for quicker prep). Mince garlic.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sauté mushrooms for 2-3 minutes. (Use 3 Tbsp. water/broth for no-oil sauté method, or toasted sesame oil for more flavor if desired.)
- Add snow peas, carrots, and green onion. Cook for 5 minutes or until crisp-tender.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add minced garlic (and any freshly grated ginger if using). Stir and sauté for 1 minute.
- Add cooked spaghetti and tamari. (I use about 1/4 cup tamari, but start with 2-3 Tbsp. for less salty.)
- Toss well to combine and heat for 2-3 minutes. Top with sesame seeds if desired. Serve warm immediately or chilled.

Notes
- Cook spaghetti al dente to avoid mushiness and maintain texture when tossed with vegetables.
- Use 3 tablespoons water or broth when sautéing vegetables without oil to keep it low-fat, or use toasted sesame oil for additional flavor.
- Breaking spaghetti in half before cooking aids in easier serving and eating.
- Adjust tamari quantity to taste; start with less if unsure about saltiness.
- Serve warm for a stir-fry style dish or chilled for a pasta salad variation.
