Instructions
- With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 375 °F (190 °C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- With a chef's knife, finely chop the ground veal. Set aside in the refrigerator.
- In a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat, sauté the green onions, garlic, peppers and mushrooms in half the oil. Season with salt and pepper. Remove the vegetables from the wok and set aside on a plate.
- In the hot wok, fry the meat in the remaining oil, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until it starts to brown. Season with salt and pepper.
- Return the stir-fried vegetables to the wok with the meat. Add the spinach and remaining soy sauce and cook until the spinach has wilted. Serve on a bed of spaghetti squash.
