Ginger Chicken Meatball Noodle Bowl
I am really enjoying creating bowl recipes! It's fun enjoying all of the flavors together. Not to mention we just love meatballs in our family. I hope you love this recipe!
Cindy's Note: You can use spaghetti squash, rice noodles or even zucchini noodles. I used linguini just because but also made it again and used spaghetti squash. Very yummy!!!
Spaghetti Squash - After I baked the squash and removed the strands then put in a bowl. I added fresh ginger, salt pepper and chopped cilantro then drizzled a little sesame oil! Amazing....
Sorry I took the picture before we garnished and ate! We just couldn't wait.....
