- 8 ounces spaghetti
- 2 cups whole mushroom, sliced
- 1 cup green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup celery, sliced
- 1 cup smoked ham, shredded(optional)
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup onion, sliced
- 1/2 cup carrot, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ground black pepper
- cilantro
- 1/2 cup regular tomato based pasta sauce
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 1/2 teaspoons brown sugar
Instructions
Step 1
Cook spaghetti according to the package instruction. Typically, place spaghetti in boiled water with a pinch of salt and cook for 11 minutes.
Step 2
While cooking the spaghetti, slice all the vegetables and ham. Prepare cooking sauce by mixing the ingredients together in a bowl.
Step 3
When the spaghetti is done, rinse in cold water and drain. Add olive oil and stir. Set aside.
Step 4
Now heat up vegetable oil in a large nonstick sauté pan over high heat. Add onion and carrot. Sauté for 1 minute until onion is translucent.
Step 5
Add other vegetables and stir for 2 minutes.
Step 6
Place ham and cooked spaghetti in the same pan. Add cooking sauce and a pinch of ground black pepper. Mix everything evenly. (Stirring could be a little difficult at this point because of the spaghetti. An easy way is to move all the ingredients with a spatula in one hand and a fork or a pair of chopsticks in the other hand.)
Step 7
Turn off the heat. Dish, garnish with cilantro and serve.
