Make
- Preheat oven to 500F (260C) degrees.
- Place chopped butternut squash in a sheet pan and then cover tightly with foil. Bake for 10 minutes on top rack. Remove foil and then toss with honey balsamic sauce (amount listed under squash ingredients). Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and roast for another 10 to 15 minutes uncovered, giving them a shake midway through. {If making Thursday's dinner, set aside enough roasted squash for tomorrow.}
- While squash is cooking, heat a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add oil and then garlic and red onions to heated oil with a dash of salt and tomato paste. Saute for ~3 minutes, until onions are softened. Add in chickpeas with sauce and saute until warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add in spinach and turn off heat. Toss everything together, letting heat wilt the spinach. Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice and then season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Enjoy peas and spinach with a side of butternut squash. Tomorrow you'll get to enjoy the leftover squash in a whole other way!
