Coconut Edamame Spaghetti ~ Day 130

I picked up a box of this edamame (soy bean) spaghetti from Costco.  They are gluten-free, high in protein and fiber, low in carbs and calorie.   It's a great alternative for a regular pasta for a change and it takes less than five minutes to cook.  Because the spaghetti itself is pretty bland dressing it up gets easier with endless possibilities.  I made this simple and delicious coconut spaghetti and a spicy coconut mango curry to go with it.
