Thai Spiced Spaghetti Squash

Here's yet another great recipe I stumbled upon during my week of vegan.  I found the recipe here, but changed it up a little to better fit my taste.



What you'll need:
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 2 tbs olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 spaghetti squash, cooked and shredded
  • 2 cups fresh pineapple, diced
  • 3-4 green onions, chopped
  • 2 tbs dried basil
  • 1 inch knob of ginger, peeled and grated
  • Juice from 1 lime
  • 2-3 tbs soy sauce
  • salt and pepper to taste

What to do:

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.  Add red bell pepper and saute for about 2 minutes.  Add garlic and saute another 4-5 minutes.  Add ginger, green onions, and basil, and saute about 2 minutes.  Add squash and pineapple and toss until both are heated through.  Add soy sauce and toss until fully coated.  Salt and pepper to taste.  Remove from heat.  Squeeze lime over mixture and toss.  Serve immediately.

Serves about 4.
