Spaghetti Squash with Roasted Broccoli
Makes 4 servings
Vegetarian, gluten-free

A dish found at the restaurant True Food Kitchen inspires this version of spaghetti squash. True Food Kitchen was started by one of my favorite integrative doctors, Dr. Weill. I first heard Dr. Weill speak while attending the Institute of Integrative Nutrition in NYC. I loved his perspective on an anti-inflammatory diet and have certainly been inspired by his knowledge.

1 spaghetti squash
2 heads of broccoli, cut into florets
2 cups tomato sauce
8 ounce ball of fresh mozzarella
2 tablespoons basil, chiffonade

Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut squash in half lengthwise and discard seeds. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cut-side down, and roast for 30–45 minutes. On another parchment-lined baking sheet, spread broccoli and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Roast for 15–20 minutes. When squash is finished cooking, allow to cool then using a fork, scrape the squash to get long spaghetti-like strands. In a cast-iron skillet, combine squash, broccoli, and tomato sauce. Stir to combine and top with slices of fresh mozzarella and basil. Bake for 15 minutes and serve.
