- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon cracked pepper

- Add broccoli and chick peas; stir.
- Stir occasionally and after 5 minutes add garlic.
- Add salt/pepper. Cook for 5 minutes and add peppers; stir to combine.
- Add cream and put heat to high stirring constantly.
- When the cream begins to boil, add the cheese and stir until on the thick side; about 5 minutes . DO NOT BURN!
- Add in garlic/peppercorn seasoning and reduce heat to simmer. Adjust seasonings if necessary.
- Cut open squash (watch it’s hot!) and remove seeds.
- Using a fork simply ‘shred’ the squash’s innards and it will look like spaghetti noodles.
- Transfer shreddings to a plate, add your vegetable mixture and top with additional cheese if needed.
