Description

This is a low carb, low fat option, that mocks pasta, but is vegetable based. The spaghetti squash acts as the ‘pasta’ and the sauce is a sweet and sour delight. You can tweak this recipe however you like, perhaps using ‘real’ pasta, or adding different vegetables to the sauce, such as broccoli or bean sprouts. Also, if you don’t like tofu, use your favorite meat alternative or beans. Either way, this is a sure fire winner.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE SQUASH:
  • ½ cups Water
  • 1 whole Spaghetti Squash, Halved, Seeds Removed
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1 pinch Pepper
  • _____
  • FOR THE SAUCE:
  • ⅓ cups Soy Sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar
  • ⅓ cups Pineapple Juice (reserved From A 19 Ounce Can Of Pineapple)
  • 1 Tablespoon Minced Fresh Ginger
  • 3 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • ¼ teaspoons Sea Salt
  • ¼ teaspoons Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
  • 1 pinch Pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon Arrowroot Powder
  • _____
  • FOR THE VEGETABLE MIXTURE:
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 block Tofu, Cut Into Cubes
  • 1 whole Bell Pepper, Chopped
  • 1 whole Carrot, Cut Into Matchsticks
  • 1 cup Pineapple Tidbits (reserved From Can)
  • 1 can (8 Oz. Size) Water Chestnuts, Drained
  • 2 whole Green Onions, Chopped (garnish)

Preparation

1) For the squash: Pour water into a large baking dish. Place spaghetti squash halves face down into the water. Bake in a 400 degree F oven for about 45 minutes, or until squash is soft.
2) While the squash is baking, place all sauce ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk together. Set aside.
3) For the veggies, heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Sauté tofu blocks until they are browned on all sides (about 5 minutes). Add bell pepper and carrot, sautéing for about 5 minutes, or until carrot softens slightly. Add pineapple tidbits and water chestnuts, sautéing for 1 minute. Add sauce ingredients and simmer on low until thickened (about 2 minutes).
4) Once squash is finished, scoop out the meat, gently into a large bowl. Add salt and pepper, mixing to combine (you may have to gently separate the ‘spaghetti’ strands from one another).
5) Divide ‘spaghetti’ onto plates. Scoop a generous amount of veggies/sauce on top, garnished with green onion. Enjoy!
