Spaghetti Squash with Chickpeas and Kale Chickpeas and kale are both true nutrient powerhouses. The former laces your dish with extra protein and fiber, while the latter is chock-full of antioxidants. But add them to a bowl of warm spaghetti squash and dress them up with sun-dried tomatoes, rosemary and pine nuts, and the only thing you'll think about is how amazing it all tastes.
Ingredients:
1 spaghetti squash
1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
1 shallot
1 clove garlic
1/2 tablespoon fresh rosemary
Pinch of chile flakes
1/2 cup chickpeas
2 (packed) cups of chopped kale leaves
1/2 lemon, juiced
1/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
Directions:
Roast the squash, and then scrape noodle-like strands from it with a fork. In a large skillet over medium heat add olive oil, shallot, garlic, rosemary, chili flakes, salt and pepper. Once the shallot starts to soften, add the chickpeas and cook for a few minutes until they turn lightly golden brown. Remove the garlic clove, and add the kale leaves and lemon juice. Stir. Once the kale has wilted, add the squash strands, grated cheese, sun-dried tomatoes and more salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and top with toasted pine nuts and extra grated cheese.
