Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz. spaghetti regular or gluten-free
  • 8 oz. mushrooms cremini, shiitake, or button
  • 5 oz. snow peas for crunch and color
  • 2 medium carrots sliced thinly
  • 6 green onions chopped
  • 3-4 cloves garlic freshly minced
  • 1/4 cup tamari gluten-free soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp. freshly grated ginger optional
  • 2 tsp. toasted sesame oil optional
  • sesame seeds for garnish
  • mung bean sprouts for garnish

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Skillet or wok
  • Cutting board and knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Serving utensils

Method
 

  1. Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the 8 oz. of spaghetti, cooking it according to package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, reserve about 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain the spaghetti and set it aside.
  2. In a large skillet or wok, heat a drizzle of oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Next, add the sliced mushrooms, snow peas, and carrots. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender yet still crisp.
  3. Once the vegetables are cooked, add the drained spaghetti to the skillet. Pour in the 1/4 cup of tamari and the reserved pasta water. If using, add the ginger and toasted sesame oil. Toss everything together until the spaghetti is well coated and heated through, adjusting the tamari to taste.
  4. Plate your Asian Spaghetti with Garlic and Vegetables, and finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and mung bean sprouts. Enjoy this vibrant dish warm, and savor every bite!

Notes

  • Chop vegetables ahead of time and store in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
  • For a low-carb version, substitute spaghetti with spiralized zucchini.
  • Adjust tamari according to taste; start with less and add more.
  • Don’t skip garnishes; they add essential flavor and texture.
