Chili Sesame Noodles


1 package whole wheat thin spaghetti (or any noodles you like)
1/2 bunch spinach
3 T lite soy sauce
2-3 T chili sauce (to taste)
1 T sesame oil
1 T sesame seeds
1 T fresh ground ginger
lime and crushed red pepper on the side to season

Cook noodles according to package directions. Add spinach to drained (still hot) noodles. Add sauce and ginger. Done!

Tip: You could easily add garlic to this dish. I chose not to because the tofu mushroom wraps have a lot of garlic in them.
