Spaghetti Squash Pad Thai is a a low-carb take on a classic Asian dish that can easily be made vegan and gluten-free.

As a single gal living on her own, cooking at home can sometimes be pretty boring — especially when you’re only cooking for one. That’s why I love getting together with friends to cook. This Spaghetti Squash Pad Thai was a recent creation that Jill and I made for dinner while sobbing over an episode of This Is Us. Don’t worry, we were careful not to get any tears in our bowls.

The recipe made just the right amount for the two of us, and left us with full, happy bellies. We used tofu for the protein and omitted the egg that is traditionally added to pad Thai, keeping it vegan, but feel free to customize to your liking! Chicken, shrimp, steak, extra veggies — whatever you want! If you are gluten-free, be sure to use a gluten-free soy sauce like tamari or Braggs liquid aminos. This Spaghetti Squash Pad Thai is a blank canvas just ready and waiting for you to make it your own. This version is not the prettiest — we kept things very simple when it came to the ingredients. The sauce is the real star! Next time I make this, I’m going to add in a lot of colorful veggies. If you don’t have a real wok to prepare it in, it’s okay! A regular frying pan will work just as well.
