This was SO GOOD! My hubby and I both devoured the leftovers too… so did our toddler!

Loaded Veggie Spicy Noodles

Toddler Approved!

This is made from a few other recipes – GREAT way to use up leftovers! I’m sure you could use any variation of this recipe with great success.

This is another awesome recipe from Melomeals!! She rocks! I changed the original recipe and added more veggies. I have to add kale to everything! I keep shredded carrots on hand for salads and wraps so I dumped some of those in too.

Loaded Veggie Spicy Noodles 

  • 1 box whole wheat pasta – I used regular
  • 1 c pasta cooking water
  • 1/2 cup Chipotle Hummus (leftover from a batch I made the day before – used the other half to make the Chipotle Broccoli Quinoa Soup)
  • 2 T minced fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 3 T Ketchup
  • 2 T Siracha
  • 1 T Toasted Sesame Oil
  • 2 T Apple Cider Vinegar or Lime Juice – I used lime juice
  • cooked tofu & leftover veggies – I used my batch of Gingered Tofu & Zucchini
  • 1 32oz package of baby portobello mushrooms, sliced (Costco)
  • 1 bunch Lacinato kale, destemmed and chopped
  • 1 bunch of collard greens, chopped (you could use anything here, really)
  • 1 large onion
  • 1 large green pepper
  • 2-3 cups shredded carrots
  • Cilantro/Peanuts for garnish
  • Soy Sauce/Pepper to taste

  5. Add shredded carrots and stir, allow carrots to heat
  6. Mix together ketchup, hummus, sesame oil, ginger, sriracha (if using – or add at the end), Apple Cider Vinegar or Lime Juice and stir until smooth
  7. In a skillet, add the pasta, sauce ingredients , Gingered Tofu & Zucchini, mushroom/kale/carrot/veggie mix and thin out with the pasta water as needed.
  8. Heat through and add the cilantro/soy sauce and pepper to taste
