Spicy ‘Noodle’ (aka Spaghetti Squash) Bowl With Peanuts and Cilantro
This Spaghetti Squash Bowl can be pulled together using ingredients you probably already have in your pantry. It's a fun, flavorful dish!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon 16g creamy natural peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon 21g honey
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon packed fresh cilantro, chopped
- 4 cups 400g cooked spaghetti squash
- ½ oz 14g chopped peanuts
Instructions
- To make the sauce, take a tablespoon of all the ingredients except the squash and peanuts.1 tablespoon 16g creamy natural peanut butter, 1 tablespoon 21g honey, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Whisk it all together and set aside.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- Add the cooked squash and toss to loosen it up.4 cups 400g cooked spaghetti squash
- Pour the sauce over the squash, add the peanuts and toss to warm everything through and coat the “noodles.”1 tablespoon hot sauce, ½ oz 14g chopped peanuts
- That’s it! Cooking doesn’t get much simpler than that.
- Pour the noodles in a bowl and top with a little bit of fresh cilantro.1 tablespoon packed fresh cilantro, chopped
Notes
- I like to cook my spaghetti squash a little on the al dente side. If you slightly undercook it, will hold up better when reheated and you can still keep that slightly firm noodle texture.
- Need to cut back the fat? Use a peanut butter powder/flour isntead of real peanut butter.
- Need more protien? Add some chicken!
- Need less carbs? Cut the honey.
- I guess this recipe could be considered two servings of two cups each but I ate the whole darn bowl and it was heavenly. Sometimes you just want a BIG serving and at 375 calories THIS was totally worth it.
