My Family’s Verdict
I originally made this dish with just half a pound of spaghetti for our family of seven… and wow, it disappeared fast! Next time, I’m doubling the pasta everyone was begging for more. I used a mix of broccoli, cauliflower, and mushrooms, but honestly, just broccoli and some crunchy snow peas would be amazing. We used Yoshida’s teriyaki sauce, but if you have a homemade favorite, go for it!
