Like all meals made in the wok, preparation is everything. Precook the squash and allow time to cool and dry. Pull stands; combine with pepper (assorted) and oregano. Spread SQUASH into a cake pan. ASPARAGUS cut into 1-1/2 to 2-inch pieces leaving tips longer. BELL PEPPER cut into 1/4" rings; cut rings into 2" strips. SPINACH and CILANTRO chiffonade cut (rolled and sliced) SHRIMP Thaw quickly in lukewarm water; pull tails; towel dry. (about 7 per person of the lemon juice into a separate cup. Measure for the sauce. Bring pot of water to a boil for pasta. Also begin to oven-roast the squash at 375F. Into a pot of boiling water, add the ASPARAGUS stems. Break the spaghetti into thirds and add. Cook for 2 minutes. Add the bell pepper and the asparagus tips. Cook for 2 minutes or until tender crisp. (TIP about 1 minute shy of the 'al dente' time indicated on the package.) Drain in a colander and rinse in cold water. Toss gently and repeatedly to drain well. WOK IT! Heat the wok, add the oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Saute the celery, spinach and cilantro for about 1-1/2 to 2 minutes. Add shrimp and lemon juice and heat for about 1 min (hot shrimp).

With a Fat-Free Picante Sauce: 7.2 g fat (16.7% CFF). (MC4) Pace Picante is fat free: 160 cals per 1/2 cup. Caution! Commercial Picante can be high in sodium. Look for the low-salt product. "This is a fusion meal: a prima verde in that the vegetables are distinct and fresh and crunchy. Sweet+sour+spice from the lemon, butter and the salsa. Asian! because the spaghetti squash looks and feels like rice noodle."--2/19/97 Recipe by: PAT Hanneman (Riverside) 1997 Posted to Digest eat-lf.v097.n049 by "Ellen C." <ellen@elekta.com> on Feb 20, 1997.
