I substituted TVP for the tofu and aduki beans for the endamame. I also added a cup of chopped kale for the phyto nutrients. - 8/23/13

I loved this recipe! I used spaghetti squash and tomatoes from my garden. It was so healthy and very low in calories. It's even better the next day. This recipe is a keeper! - 8/13/08

I absolutely loved this!! I (sadly) didn't have pine nuts so I used walnuts & no edamame so I put lentils in it instead - it was just great - thanks! - 5/12/08

Made this tonight - was really good. The crunchy carrots and edamame was a nice contrast to the soft spaghetti squash. I didn't have tofu/pine nuts, so used chicken and sliced almonds instead. I put a lot of herbs in it, and added a dash of cinnamon which really brought the flavors out. Yum! - 3/2/08

I used 3oz of chicken instead of tofu. My husband and I enjoyed the recipe. He has had 7 stents and I am looking for healthy meals. This is a good one. Thanks - 2/20/08
