Share:
Ingredients
- 1 spaghetti squash seeded and halved, extra-large
- cooking spray or oil mister
- 1 ½ cups kale packed, torn leaves
- ½ cup walnuts divided, raw pieces
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese shredded
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh
- 2 garlic minced, cloves
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- ⅓ cup sun-dried tomato chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400ºF.
- Place the spaghetti squash halves cut-side-up on a baking sheet and spray the tops with oil. Bake until tender and just beginning to brown on the edges, about 40 minutes. Allow the squash to cool slightly; if liquid has collected in the centers, drain it off, then scrape out the insides with a fork and separate it into spaghetti strands.
- While the squash is baking, combine the kale, ¼ cup walnuts, cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic cloves in your food processor. Process until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Toast the remaining walnuts and set aside.
- Toss the spaghetti squash with the pesto in a large bowl. Divide onto 4 plates and top each with the toasted walnuts and sun-dried tomatoes.
Notes
- The squash I used was 5 pounds. If you can't find one that big, you could buy two or three smaller ones, but note that they may need less time in the oven.
