Asian Spaghetti with Garlic & Vegetables

March 18, 2013 By Kaitlin McGinn 18 Comments

Spaghetti with an Asian-inspired twist! This easy, vegan, 30-minute meal comes together quick and makes a great weeknight meal. Plus it’s simple to adapt with your own favorite vegetables.

We love this Asian-inspired spaghetti because it’s a simple, 7-ingredient meal that’s easy to assemble. Plus it’s a great dish to adapt with your own favorite vegetables – asparagus, bell pepper, bean sprouts, etc. are fantastic. And adding tofu or tempeh for some extra substance is also a great protein boost. (If you’re interested, try this Easy Baked Savory Tofu, Asian Garlic Tofu, or saucy Teriyaki Baked Tofu.)

The light flavor of this dish comes from the garlic and tamari, plus you can add the optional freshly grated ginger as well. We think this spaghetti tastes great both warm and cold, so leftovers are a perfect work lunch with no need to reheat. Hope you enjoy as well!

Author: Kaitlin – The Garden Grazer
Prep Time:15 minutes
Cook Time:15 minutes
Total Time:30 minutes
Category: Main Dish
Cuisine: Gluten-Free Option, Oil-Free, Vegan
Servings:4 medium bowls

Ingredients

US Customary – Metric
  • 8 oz. spaghetti* (gluten-free if desired)
  • 8 oz. mushrooms (I use cremini)
  • 5 oz. snow peas (about 1.5 cups)
  • 2 medium carrots
  • 6 green onions
  • 3-4 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 cup tamari (or less)
  • Optional: 1/2 tsp. freshly grated ginger, 2 tsp. toasted sesame oil

Toppings (optional):

  • Sesame seeds, mung bean sprouts

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

*I use gluten-free brown rice & quinoa spaghetti, and I break them in half before cooking for easier manageability.

    You always have the best recipes — tasty and not complicated. My mostly-meat-and-potatos husband actually requests that I make the chickpea salad. 🙂
