You can make this healthy spicy noodle recipe with rice noodles (the traditional way) or with protein pasta (to boost protein and lower carbs) either will work in this recipe.
I wanted to keep this a vegetarian meal (it’s almost vegan- many vegans don’t eat Sriracha). But you can add in some cooked shrimp, shredded chicken or even some pork if you want to boost the protein.
