"On Top of Spaghetti..."
Mix the following ingredients for a sauce and set aside: 3T white vinegar
sugar 2T ketchup
soy sauce or tamari IT cornstarch 3/4 C pineapple juice (drained from canned pineapples) 1/4t cayenne pepper (optional) Stir fry: 34T oil
1 lb firm or extra-firm tofu (wash with water, drain, cut into strips)
green or red pepper, chopped
broccoli, chopped 10 celery, chopped 1C snow peas
Actually these "toppers" are good on more than just spaghetti they're great over any pasta, noodle or grain. Try angel hair (capellini) for a quicker-cooking pasta. Alternate between brown rice for a more filling meal, and white basmati rice when you're in a rush. For variety, serve these recipes over couscous (cooks very fast) or quinoa (pronounced "keen-wah"), a tasty nourishing, grain with loads of protein and calcium. Even if the recipe suggests pasta, don't let a recipe tell you what to do! Experiment and try the terrific new tastes, waiting to be discovered.
