Yield 4-8 people

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 T. extra virgin olive oil
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp paprika
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
1 can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
Handful of sliced kalamata olives
1 large bunch kale, cut into ribbons or small bite-sized pieces

Steps:

  • Cut&gut spaghetti squash, rub inside w/olive oil, add thin slices of garlic, salt & pepper it, and place facing up on baking in 375 degree oven for about 45min - until flesh of squash can be pierced w/knife with little resistance. Meanwhile... In a large pot or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion & sautee for a 3-4 min. Then add garlic, red pepper flakes, paprika, oregano & basil. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is softened,another 2-3 min. (Reduce the heat if the onions start to brown.) Add can of tomatoes with liquid, olives, and chickpeas. Stir to combine & simmer for a couple minutes. Add kale, stir it up, then cover and let it simmer until kale starts to wilt. This should only be 5-7 mins since you want the kale to lose its texture & crispness) Add salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste. Shred spaghetti squash with a fork and place in mound in center of serving platter. Pile the veggie stew stuff on top & serve. (Idea for optional garnish for additional yumminess: goat cheese?) XO
