Preheat the oven to 400℉.
Step 2
Prepare the spaghetti squash following the directions in this post.
Step 3

medium heatStep 4
Once the shallot starts to soften, add the chickpeas and cook for a few minutes until lightly golden brown. If you’re using roasted chickpeas, add them at the end of the recipe instead. Remove the garlic clove, add the kale and lemon juice, and stir.
Step 5
Once the kale is partially wilted, add the squash strands, the sun-dried tomatoes, a little grated Parmesan, and more salt and pepper, to taste. Toss to incorporate. Remove from the heat and top with the toasted pine nuts and more grated cheese.
