Ingredients

• 1 medium-sized spaghetti squash, sliced in half lengthwise
• Salt and pepper
• Oil for cooking
• ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, diced

Super Green Kale and Broccoli Pesto

• 1 bunch of basil
• 4-5 kale leaves
• ½ head of broccoli
• 100 g walnuts
• 1 clove garlic
• Juice of ½ lemon
• 5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 pinch salt

Method

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF (180ºC).
2. Place spaghetti squash on a lined baking tray and drizzle a little oil over the halves and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
3. Place face up on lined baking tray and roast in the oven until tender. About 25-45 minutes depending on the size of your squash. You can test it to see if it's ready by scraping the flesh with a fork (it should turn to spaghetti-like strands)
4. While squash roasts, prepare the pesto by combining all the ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Add more oil if necessary.
5. Once squash is roasted, remove from oven and using a fork, scrape out seeds then continue to scrape the flesh to create “noodles”. Save the "noodles" in a large bowl.
6. In this large bowl, combine the squash "noodles" with the kale and broccoli pesto, top with extra walnuts and sun-dried tomatoes.
