Year of the Snake Noodles

Here's a tasty dish made with spaghetti noodles that's not in the least Italian. It comes from a 1989 cookbook published by a Denver-based health company. 1989 was the Year of the Snake, hence the name. We often substitute jerusalem artichoke spaghetti for the whole wheat variety, which reduces the fiber content but improves on whole wheat spaghetti's somewhat lackluster flavor.
