This is not a freezer meal
I repeat this is not a freezer meal
Spaghetti squash doesn't exactly freeze well, and if you are going to make this then add it to the squash later...what's the point, it doesn't take that long to cook after you roast the spaghetti squash so....
Hubby loves Thai food...he was really excited when I decided to try my hand at this Spaghetti squash Pad Thai recipe. It was really yummy, I was probably a little too heavy handed with the red pepper flakes for my taste but it was perfect for hubby. Next time I'll probably stick with the 1 tsp the recipe calls for and let him add heat via siracha or chili oil to his.

So where do I get these coconut aminos? I saw them in another recipe. This sounds delish. I love spaghetti squash.
