Recipe Notes

Increasing to 12 or more servings will likely require more than 1 skillet to maintain cooking time and have enough space for the food to cook.
These noodles are significantly higher in protein and have excellent amounts of fiber versus regular spaghetti. Believe us, we don't care for most alternative spaghettis either, but this one does not change the flavor or the texture and is a much healthier option. Give it a try!
