- If you can't find Thai sweet chili sauce, you can substitute it with equal parts of honey and sriracha.
- Substituting Greek yogurt for the mayonnaise in the sauce will reduce the fat content and provide a healthier alternative. The tanginess of the yogurt will also add an extra layer of flavor to the dish.
- Substituting quinoa for the spaghetti will provide a gluten-free option and increase the protein content of the dish. Quinoa is also a great source of dietary fiber and other essential vitamins and minerals.
