Serves 1
1/2 squash, spaghetti, organic (1 whole squash cooked in the oven for 1 hour)
100 g kale, organic
1/2 can chickpeas, organic
1 garlic, clove
1 tbsp vinegar, apple cider, organic
1/2 tsp. chilli, flakes, organic
1/2 tsp. paprika, organic
Basil, leaves, fresh, organic

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
Prepare the spaghetti squash by placing 1 whole squash onto a baking tray and transfer the tray into the oven - allow to cook for 1 hour. While the squash is baking, prepare the rest of the filling.

Place your choice of serving dish upon the weighing scales and portion 100 g of fresh kale. Transfer to a sieve and rinse the delicate leaves under cool water and drain. Transfer to a clean chopping board and roughly chop kale into small pieces.

Place a stainless steel saucepan upon the scales and weigh out 60 g of pure water. Add minced garlic, 1/4 tsp. of chili flakes and a 1/4 tsp. of paprika. Place the saucepan upon the hob and turn on to a high heat setting (9). Await for the the water to come to a boil before adding the chopped kale and cook until the leaves are bright green and just starting to lose structure. Turn down the heat to a low heat setting (3) and add the chickpeas - cook until warmed through. Turn off the heat and set aside.

Remove squash form the oven when it is cooked through. Slice the squash in half lengthways and discard the seeds using a spoon. Using a fork, scrape out the insides, which will pull away from the shell in strands, like spaghetti (whoa). Place all strands into the saucepan containing the kale and chickpea mixture and mix through gently.

At this point you can either serve it into a choice of serving bowl/platter, or mix everything together and return the filling back in one half of the empty squash shells for a beautiful presentation. Top with a few fresh basil leaves. Enjoy.
