3. 4 tbsp. olive oil, divided

4. 2 garlic, thinly sliced

Ingredients

5. 1/2 c. walnuts, chopped

6.1/2 c. dry white wine

9. 2 tbsp. sour cream

10. 1 tbsp. whole-grain mustard

 Cook spaghetti per package directions.

Step 2

 Meanwhile, peel squash neck (save the rest for another use) and spiralize on a thin noodle setting. Cut any very long strands in half.

Step 3

Heat 3 Tbsp oil in a large skillet on medium. Add garlic, walnuts, and sage and cook, stirring often, until nuts are lightly toasted and fragrant and garlic is golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes; transfer to a plate.

Step 4

To the same skillet, add remaining Tbsp oil and squash; toss to coat. Add wine and 1/4 tsp salt and cook, covered, until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add spaghetti; toss well.

Step 5

Add kale, toss to combine, then stir in sour cream and mustard; simmer 2 minutes. Fold in walnut mixture and blue cheese.

Mix veg strips with pasta noodles for a perfectly balanced bowl.
